You haven't noticed that two-fare zones are now one-fare zones? Free intermodal transfers are of little use to most Manhattan residents but slashed the fare in half for many outer borough residents.

Many of those evil people in Manhattan take very short rides to work -- a few stops on the local -- but they pay no less than somebody who rides a bus a few miles and then transfers to the subway for the long ride into Manhattan. Shouldn't you be grateful to them for their subsidy?

As a Manhattan resident who takes two trains and a bus to get to work in Brooklyn, I sure am. Even though I take great advantage of it myself, I happen to think that the current fare structure is highly inequitable.
