How much does Basic Economics apply to MTA? Profit is hardly the primary motive (at least operationally speaking).Basic economics does apply to the questions of when, how and why to go into debt. Unless the reason for going into debt will cover the debt, you will have spiral of an ever increasing debt load that will eventually lead to some form of bankruptcy. (Sound familiar?) The idea isn't exclusively to catch more ridership but to give those riders flexible options. Taking a look at the general proposed network, it seems that no matter what people would always have a second in-network option to get somewhere if the first option fails I will occasionally defer to what I consider reliable sources in reaching my conclusions. In this case it was Bernard Cathelain, who is on the Board that oversees the design and construction program for the Grand Express project, as well as the industry, purchasing and environmental strategy functions. Here's what he had to say regarding the Grand Express purpose. https://youtu.be/OvvfM1euDNc?t=152 |
