Yes and no; all public transportation in the U.S. save a few exceptions is vastly underused in my experience. An influx of people to meet even expanded capacity would also mean more revenue...with sufficient patronage, convenience and coverage can be increased without bringing up the price much (if at all.)
- sigstoat 17y agotransit usage in the denver area jumped with the gas prices, and the cost of rides increased repeatedly, and more than the gas prices increased, as far as i could tell.
- rue 17y agoI am sure it did. I do not see, however, what that has to do with capacity/patronage?
- dnsworks 17y agoAll is quite a generalization. Try cramming yourself on any of the buses that run through Chinatown in San Francisco between the hours of 7am and 10pm.
