George Pyle: The benefits to everyone are enough that bus rides should be free.
Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Tuesday, February 1, 2022.The old joke for transportation policy wonks is that support for public transit polls well among people who have no intention of actually using it. There are always people who hope that if enough other folks ride the bus it will mean less traffic and more available parking when they drive their cars to work.
The idea of an always-free system is held back by the fact that nobody ever bothers to figure out how much the loss of fare revenue — about 14% of total revenue — would be offset if UTA no longer had to pay what must be the substantial costs of collecting those fares. experiment. Enough to justify any necessary increase in tax subsidy, as robust transit use benefits those who never set foot in a bus or train., meanwhile, has run into some opposition from folks who fear that a route that goes through their neighborhood every 15 minutes instead of every 30 will mean more noise, an increased hazard to pedestrians and giant vehicles that people’s cars and large emergency vehicles won’t be able to get around.
Riding public transit is like visiting major tourist landmarks. When you are visiting a city, you do the research and find out how to get around, as I’ve done, over the past 30 years, in London, Paris, Edinburgh, Montreal, New York, Washington and Phoenix.
