POLL: Would You Pay More for Better Subway Service?
The MTA’s fare hike will take effect in March, raising the price of a single subway ride from $2.50 to $2.75, and it’s made most New York train riders pretty unhappy. But what if service was better? If those flashing “delay” projections were few and far between; massive platform pileups were a thing of the past; and you didn’t get stuck under the East River for 30 minutes with no explanation? Would you be willing to pay more for service that operated accordingly? We explored this idea on Monday in a piece titled “What Would Happen if New York Let Everyone Ride the Subway for Free?” and now we want to know your thoughts.
