AFAIK, there is exactly ONE rapid transit system making a profit--not genuinely from the farebox but from the TOD real estate surrounding the stations--MTR in Hong Kong. That cross subsidy BTW was the idea behind the PANYNJ buying the bankrupt H&M which gave us the whole Twin Towers and surrounding development. I remember going to Lafayette down there for electrical parts when Hudson Terminal (even earlier TOD) was still occupied. |
