No, but all of the fares should be higher, perhaps a $3.00 base fare, and then offer "special fares". Those in need should always be able to ride, and at a reduces fare, but that ought not to come out of the pocket of the MTA. Student fares should be subsidized by the Bored of Education, Low Income fares should be subsidized by social services.The fare = Cost of Operation - Taxpayer Support. What comes not from the taxpayer comes from the fare box. Those who CAN afford a higher fare, SHOULD pay the higher fare, those who cannot should be subsidized. Tax payers should not subsidize those who can afford to pay more just to give the poor a chance at a cheap ride. RAISE THE FARE, then help those who need help. ROAR |
