Posted by trainsarefun on Mon Feb 8 16:52:20 2010, in response to MTA really needs to charge peak fares on the subways and buses, posted by HudsonLine on Mon Feb 8 15:06:43 2010. LIRR and Metro-North have peak/off-peak fare structure, but why do the city people have it easier than the suburban ones?You need to do your homework first. Compare, e.g., NYCT subsidy rates to LIRR subsidy rates. Try telling a city person who rarely rides MN and LIRR that monthly passes are $200-$400 and they think I'm lying. In fairness, the highest LIRR monthly fares are for zone 14, which comprises Westhampton-Montauk and Riverhead-Greenport, inclusive, and they are $392. Very few people are doing that commute, and just there consider how great a bargain that is for those with the privilege: over 7000 miles a month, which comes out to about a nickel per mile! So seriously, do some fact-checking first. |
