    Should you pay a higher fare if your subway ride is longer than other commuters’ trips? Or more for a bus or train ticket during rush hour, and less during off-peak times?http://bos.gl/XdY39yk

        My unpopular opinion: we should charge people double if they wear a backpack on their back while standing ... and 10x fare for anyone who puts a bag on the seat next to them

        The imperative of public transport is to encourage as many people to use it as possible. The cheaper the fares the better, this idea that PT has to turn a profit is based in a limited grasp of public transport as a novelty & not a congestion busting, economic stimulator.

        Congestion pricing on the T to incentivize me to... drive my car during peak hours instead? Drive longer trips in my car?

        How about paying less of a fare when your train is egregiously late?

        Transit should be free, time to get people out of cars & moving efficiently

        no dip shit. Charge the cars with a congestion/convince fee.

        So they could potentially charge me double the fare for their shitty service and nonexistent trains? I already have to suffer through the expensive dumpster fire that is the commuter rail.

        Instead of Trying to figure out how to charge people more they figure out how to run the drains on time and keep them from breaking down every other day

        Without looking at data, no for both. Pay-by-distance barely makes sense on commuter rail, is openly regressive when applied to subway/bus. Charge extra for peak travel times on the pike, not public transit, or risk worse traffic from rideshare.

        Zone paying is fair and many transit locations around the world do it, but paying more at peak is counter productive. Don’t punish people for commuting on a transit system you want them to take. If anything, REDUCE fares at peak to entice ridership.

        So...if you’re coming from Alewife or Davis you get charged twice as much to ride the same non existent train as anyone who gets on at Charles? Nope.

        a big thumbs down from me - people are driven to the suburbs and exurbs for affordable housing to charge them more for transit implies that there was a choice in their decision
