Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Sun May 29 19:15:33 2011, in response to MTA Bus Ridership Dwindles As Subway Gains, posted by Gold_12th on Thu May 26 03:36:39 2011. I'm nearly tempted to say that at $2.25*, for some pay-per-ride customers, the combination of waiting for the bus and riding it at such a "high" cost means that for certain shorter trips, it may make far more sense to simply walk, take a bike, or simply not go. In other cases, it may even pay to simply take a car service to have a faster and more direct route.FWIW, in Cambria Heights, it was faster to drive to 179th Street and hop the train there than to take the bus. *One could argue that one-fare zone for the entire city is now killing off some of the marginal ridership and that maybe NYCTA should go to zoned fares like nearly every other large European system. Hell, NYCTA and LIB are kinda cheap when compared to say BVG in Berlin or RATP in Paris, especially for those coming from the extremes of the network going to the core... |
