As it turns out it doesn't actually cost that much on regular transit, there's an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it's an "airport train".
No wonder Americans don't use public transit, even when the system exists it's ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.
Pretty sure must of us aren't going anywhere near Reddit. Muni seems a mess from my perspective, but when I visit there from sac the $8 or whatever it is for all day transit seems reasonable to me. Might have the price wrong, last time I was there was Chinese New Year and I rode the cable cars all day which was totally worth the $8. But I might as well be a tourist so I don't know just how fucked it all is.
oh yea cable car is always more expensive than a single transit ride. pandemic really did a number of people riding the subways, it never fully recover so they have to do everything else to increase the "riders" lost instead of actually attracting more ridership.
like spending and aggressively pursuing fare evaders, spending twice or more than twice in hiring than recouping some fees from them. in reality fares make up less than 20% of thier budget. im guessing federal (washington)wants to see more initiative in justifying thier budget?
Now that trump is in power again, there might not even be money .
