And one of the reasons for that was the government demanding they keep the fare at 5 cents for almost 50 yearsThat wrecked business like crazy. The IND was forced to charge higher fares by Albany, ironically. The fare went up to 10¢ in 1947, which works out to $1.07 in 2014 dollars. Today's $2.50 fare would have been 23¢ back then; would people have paid that much to ride the subway? Maybe. |
