Reductions in service on weekends and holidays are a self-fulfilling prophecy: they run reduced schedules because they expect less travel....which forces people to travel less because the schedule's no good!https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/956575786294706177 …

Read quickly. Suggestion: Reword "reduce public involvement". I know what you mean, but makes it sound like you dont give a damn about the rider's concerns. Presume focus on overall market includes rider's thoughts. What % do fares cover? What is farebox recovery? Stealing?

"Public involvement" isn't about rider concerns tho, that's my point--it's about a particularly theatrical way of getting feedback (public hearings) which can't necessarily be acted on. Successful businesses don't use public hearings to estimate customer concerns, etc...

Fares currently cover around 15% of expenses; farebox recovery refers to the share of expenses that are covered by fares

Frankly, I am shocked. I would have thought it to be higher. You aren't running a transit program, you are running a welfare program. Your very astute comment earlier about the taxpayer being the customer has hit home. I am a taxpayer!
