Comment on BART’s excursion fare: Agency earns millions from passengers not riding trains

Comments

As someone who is not familiar with this transit system, but familiar with my own....this is criminal ... I would have a fit to be charged for not using the service.....

we have a different system. timed tickets....or monthly passes or day passes....wtf is this robbery.

no offense...but this is the opposite of free market principles at work...this is straight extortion

Free market, extortion, and robbery are not exclusive from each other :)

But you're right. Transit like this is rarely the free market at work in the US, though, you're right It's operated by a governmental entity. It's hard to have competing subway systems.
