They're the ones paying the bills, not the crew. Those sixteen passengers could represent upwards of one hundred dollars in lost revenue on each train. Additionally, sixteen passengers lost on each of the 240 trains SEPTA operates per day means they would leave 3840 people at the station every day. The revenue from those passengers would amount to upwards of 6.2 million dollars over the course of one year, or about 12% of their 2008 revenue. Do you want to make their budget deficits that much greater than they already are just to give their employees a location to slack off throughout their shift?Admittedly not every train will be a Silverliner V set, and the Silverliner IVs will persist for a few more years, but with those trains showing their age the Silverliner VI will be right around the corner and will likely replicate many of the Silverliner V's design features. If SEPTA caves to union pressure now they could easily see themselves lose four thousand potential trips per day and upwards of six million dollars a year once the Silverliner IVs are retired. |
