Do you know what pushes people towards automobiles more than anything else? High fares. I drive most days now because the train has gotten so expensive, even from Ronkonkoma. And the MTA's 18th century fare collection system is one of the single largest factors keeping fares high.People who are opposing PoP tend to just completely ignore the substantial cost savings not having 2-6 people on a train to collect fares... Other prior PoP implementations across the US and around the world have demonstrated "All the police tactics" do nothing to decrease ridership or revenue, and in fact, the lower fares and additional service made possible by PoP lead to increased ridership and increased revenue. |
