I definately like the way you think...NJT is able to use their NYC routes (particularly their commuter network) to SUBSIDIZE their local system. Not a single operating subsidy dollar is used to operate the NYC network. Is this true??? I know many, if not most, of the NYC routes are heavily traveled but didn't know they actually turned a profit. The fact that NJT allows local travel on the NYC routes probably helps a great deal since there's no "need" for a seperate, local bus system like on SI or the other boroughs; the NYC routes and local routes both form the same system. |
