Actually, charging a peak fare would be a MAJOR incentive for people to BUY the unlimited ride cards even if they don't travel as often as those who usually buy them now, so the MTA could very well see increased revenue that way.I would say make the peak hour fare for those who don't use unlimited ride MetroCards $3.50, but such fares include TWO OOS transfers instead of one with a time limit of THREE hours instead of two. Off-peak fares on weekdays and Saturdays as I would do it would be lowered to $2.00 or stay where it currently is at $2.25 and with the current ONE OOS transfer, while on Sundays, I would lower the fare further to $1.50 or $1.75 as an incentive for people to use public transit on Sundays. |
