"There used to be a big difference in real estate values if you were in a one fare or two fare zone. That difference greatly narrowed when free transfers were instituted"The increased real estate prices benefits the MTA and it's union workers. The free transfer increased bus usage. Without it bus ridership will drop and that means less bus service. The B2 for instance used to be a faster rider prior to the free transfer. Many people within a ten min walk just walked to the train or had a family member drop them off. Cutting back the waste in bus operations and improving schedules though gps and reducing dwell time through contact less fare payment is the way to go along with automated bus lane and bus stop enforcement using bus mounted camera's is the way to go |
