Investors thought that they could make money when they built the IRT and the BMT, but if I recall, it was another communist mayor who broke that up, profits *are* immoral you know. So now no investors. You get what you sow.Would investors take over the system today, the fare would have to go to about $5.00. (That is simply and up to date 5c) You are looking at labor contracts, power costs, major infrastructure upgrades, and major new construction (ala the famous Myrtle-Fifth Avenue system). Or you can elect and support politicians with the drives to do this. This way the fare will only go up to $3.00 but the rest of your taxes will go up accordingly. But politician come and go and bend to the gripes of the people paying the money without riding the train. At least with investors, they will put their money up in hope of a return. ROAR |
