I remember when the fare went up from15 to 20cents. One analysis of the shift from the city owning NYCTA to thestate MTA was relieving the Mayor or responsibility for fare increases.last line; I was trying to say that the bribing classes have such control over both the legislative and executive branches (state and national) that decreasing THEIR cut of public expenditures is the most difficult. As to riders "siphoning" by not paying more than a nominal fee to use transit, I think we both know that farebox recovery barely covers the cost of fare collection across most US transit operations, and is computed only as a percentage of day to day wages, fuel/electricity minor maintenance. Capital expenditures--new lines, new cars, outside vendor GOH programs, all are separately accounted and usually funded by separate bond issues or grants from FTA. I believe the US is operated as an oligarchic kleptocracy by the major bribers who twist revenue collection and expenditures to continue their positions as super rich. |
