Posted by Fytton on Tue Sep 5 07:41:40 2006, in response to Re: Intermediate Station Fare Payment on SIRT (was:Re: Scrap pecking order with R44-SI), posted by R68A - 5200 on Tue Sep 5 01:42:16 2006. '"The Staten Island Ferry *would not* be a money loser."65,000 people are transported on a typical weekday on the Staten Island Ferry.' It isn't the number of people it carries that determines whether it is a money loser. It is the amount each person pays. As that amount is zero, the ferry is definitionally a money loser. No-one said the ferry was useless - it clearly isn't - or even suggested that a fare should be charged. David of Broadway was simply pointing out that any service which has operating costs but no income must be a money loser. |
