Re: New York City Comptroller Proposes Plan to Integrate Commuter Rail, MTA

Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Thu Oct 18 00:54:37 2018, in response to New York City Comptroller Proposes Plan to Integrate Commuter Rail, MTA, posted by Dave on Tue Oct 16 16:34:07 2018.

Allow free transfers between rail, subways, and buses

I suspect I'm one of the few that supports this proposal, but once you've used a system with fare parity, it's a beautiful thing. In German cities, there's no magical higher fare for choosing to use the regional railway over the bus or subway despite being operated by different ownership. It permits the use of the fastest mode possible which encourages transit use. It's almost criminal to watch LIRR trains pass by while people have slow bus connections to a slow subway to the core.
