My numbers were more theoretical than anything else, I wanted easy numbers to work with to explain what kind of fare system I was proposing. A 10 dollar one way fare would be ludicrous.The WMATA board needs transportation experts and not politicians, and maybe even a rider or two. In addition to what you said, Richmond likes to screw NOVA whenever it can though at least the board members come from the service area, and in MD, the money and board members come from Annapolis and as a result, it doesn't get attention since people who don't get WMATA service have a significant say in its funding. DC is committed to public transit, but I question its commitment to WMATA. Look at how much effort is being put into the streetcars and the Circulator. |
