The current system is fine - passengers should only have to pay one fare to get from point A to point B (with the exception of premium services such as express buses and commuter rail). Bus-to-subway and bus-to-bus transfers should be free – why should a passenger traveling from a neighborhood not served by the subway be penalized? It’s not their fault the city never put a train line there.The problem, in my opinion, is that transit is seen as something that needs to be priced as cheaply as possible. This is idiotic – why should every passenger get the exact same discount when many could afford to pay more? Put a limit on Metrocard discounts and let’s figure out how to subsidize rides or passes for those with limited incomes instead of giving away the service to everyone. |
