BART's a bad example of pretty much everything. In terms of fares the price per mile goes down the longer you ride while the price to run that service goes up.

BART's a bad example of pretty much everything. In terms of fares the price per mile goes down the longer you ride while the price to run that service goes up. Most of BART's ridership is between San Francisco and Oakland, which is what the most recent service cuts targeted. The suburbanites that see their fares subsidized by the urban riders got service increases. Go figure.
