At one time WMATA had off-peak fares in the early morning.Many federal employees have flex-time schedules which allow start times between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM. By starting early people could take advantage of the off-peak fares for commuting. This helped spread out the rush hour. Now peak fares are charged from opening to 9:30 so most federal employees can't commute on an off peak fare. I guess spreading out the rush hour isn't worth the revenue lost with the lower fare. Or, maybe, people like to start early and don't need the incentive of a lower fare. |
