The B of T did raise fares in 1948 and despite what the press said about one of the recent fare increases being the highest in the history of the NYCTS, the 1948 increase was actually the highest since it was a 100% increase. Except for the demolition of the els, I don’t recall any any postwar service cuts, in fact there were service increases in many areas. The deferred maintenance actually started after the creation of the NYCTA in 1953. |
