      Previously I compared Boston's commuter rail ridership with a Japanese rail company's ridership. But what about subways?https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/839169646540513280 …

      FOLKS, let's take a look at ridership on a small, unusual company in the outer suburbs of Tokyo: the Shonan Monorail pic.twitter.com/8KUlv5IDxp

      Today I'll examine the Red Line, starting at Alewife--daily ridership of 11,221. #TrainTwitterpic.twitter.com/KQX75Nq3Ia

      Continuing south, ridership drops off a bit...Broadway gets 4,200, Andrew gets 6,425, and JFK/UMass gets 8,920pic.twitter.com/FCpMqJR0sE

          Plenty of private railways in Japan don't see this level of daily ridership at their stations, yet still turn a profit. What gives?

          Well, one problem for the Red Line is that much of its route is underground--subways are VERY expensive to maintain

          ...but I don't think that's the main culprit. The fact is that the Red Line leaves a ton of money on the table.

          Look at those stations! Plenty of concrete and angular architecture, but where are the shops???

          Charles/MGH Station is an egregious example of this: it was renovated some years ago into a spacious glass palace with NOTHING IN ITpic.twitter.com/3nDVhRUTry

          Another way Boston leaves money on the table: flat rate fares on the subway, regardless of distance travelled

          This is essentially a subsidy for people travelling longer (more expensive to operate) trips, paid for by those going one or two stops

          This is incredibly stupid, especially in the era of smart cards, and guarantees uneconomical patterns of use.

          Last note here: do you think this is the MAXIMUM ridership these stations could see, given density of population and commerce around them?

          I find the prospect difficult to believe--what would happen to ridership if the stations were kept sparkling clean?

          Imagine cleaner, safer stations on the Red Line, with places to get food and drink--wouldn't people be more willing to ride?
