...how's this for disturbing?  Major cost overruns are just the beginning. Using HARTs own figures, it paints a grim picture of just how bad we have been screwed by the corrupt rail system. See, it takes 6 trips per commuter, bus to rail, rail to station and station to destintion, and the reverse going home. 70000 boardings, which must include the bus in the blended rail system , means 11667 round trips for commuters, 7000 of which are pass riders. Monthly revenues from riders is 2.1 mil by HARTs own figures, 1.68 million coming from passes. Assuming all passes are equal, which they are not, this means 7000 into $1.68 million pass revenues is $240.00 a month, or 4 times the going rate of $60.00. Who are they trying to kid? So they not think we can get past HARTese double speak to the true cost, which for passes is monthly cost not trips?
