Nobody is charging enough that revenue from fare collections can provide this. So what is your point then? Clearly funding from then government can be enough to make fare collection an insignificant amount when it comes to paying for upgrades and new service.
- bluGill 4y agoThe point is government funding isn't that high and nobody is seriously suggesting making it that high. You can raise funding from government, but if that happens you should spend that extra money on more services, not the same services with less fares. The working poor who use your system would prefer more service to cheaper fares in general. Sure there are some too disabled to work who need cheaper fares, but they are a tiny minority (and should be handled with a separate subsidy from your social works department). The rest of the riders want more service as their main consideration. (again at the current fare pricing - you can make a straw man what if fares where $1000/month)
