Typical NYC proposal: relieve our problems by sloughing them off on someone else.Show me where the excess capacity on the LIRR is to absorb significant city ridership. Suburban fares are close to confiscatory; but if you avoid going to a City terminal (to Jamaica only for the best example) the difference between a one-way peak ticket to Jamaica or Penn is ~$4.25. Off peak is about $3. These would be the baselines on how low the city fare could go. |
