Posted by R68A - 5200 on Tue Sep 5 01:42:16 2006, in response to Re: Intermediate Station Fare Payment on SIRT (was:Re: Scrap pecking order with R44-SI), posted by David of Broadway on Sun Sep 3 15:41:43 2006. You said:"The decision to eliminate fares to/from stops other than St. George was justified by the claim (I don't know if it's accurate or not) that the cost of installing and maintaining fare control equipment would exceed the revenue that it would bring in (in other words, that SIR would be even more of a money-loser with the fare control equipment than without). A similar justification was made for eliminating the ferry fare." I said: "The Staten Island Ferry *would not* be a money loser." 65,000 people are transported on a typical weekday on the Staten Island Ferry. |
