Posted by displaced angeleno on Fri Apr 6 13:29:41 2018, in response to Re: $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR, posted by SLRT on Fri Apr 6 12:58:53 2018. The highest fares between any two zones are between zones 1 and 3, $10.25 peak and $7.50 off-peak. Travel between any two suburban zones (except 12 to/from 14) is $3.25 and there is no peak/off-peak distinction.On single zone fares, travel in zone 1 is $8.75 peak/$6.25 off-peak and travel in zone 3 is $5.50 peak/$4.00 off-peak. Travel in all other zones is $3.25 at all times. All long trips are costly, those entering or beginning in the city a bit more, but short length trips in the suburbs are incredibly cheap. It's a fair contention that city LIRR prices should be higher because there are many more trips for portions of the LIRR that run through the city. That said, service at Long Island City, Hunterspoint, Woodside, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Nostrand Avenue, and East New York isn't much less than service to most suburban stations. In any case, there is quite a bit of off-peak and reverse-peak LIRR capacity that could be used by city commuters. |
