NJTransit has TVM's at every stations--including the tiniest ones with fewer riders than any other station on MN or LI--yet they haven't yet ceased to exist due to "losing billions".Your arguments are quickly becoming hyperbolic and disingenuous. There are few, if any, downsides to transitioning to PoP and saving a half-billion dollars in labor costs alone each year, as evidenced by countless other rail systems across the US and around the world that have done so and still live to tell the tale. There is simply no reason to have three to seven people on LIRR and Metro-North trains doing the job one person can do in Europe. If you want to argue against basic modernization on the grounds of preservation, that's one thing, but be transparent: what's best for the fare-paying riders and the economy of this region is then not your priority. |
