The bigger problem with the elimination of the fare between stations was an increase in crime and vandalism on the trains, as there were no longer conductors or trainmen walking through the cars every other stop.Which was why back in 1997 no S.I. elected official wanted or supported the "free" SIR/Ferry fare. The various civic groups along the SIR also did not support the "free" fare for the reasons you have stated. All would be happy to see the MTA install fare collection equipment, and perhaps someday they will. But it's no use bring facts up here when it comes to the SIR fare collection issue. |
