Does anyone know the linked vs unlinked trip split? I think l recall seeing an 80% figure somewhere, but l may just be making that up. If that figures true, wouldn’t a simpler solution just be to make the busses free? Free transit in general is a a bad idea since the money is better spent on service, but if 80% of bus riders are still paying the $2.50 at the turnstile anyway, losing 20% from the (literal) free riders seems like it could be worth the increase in operational efficiency.
Removes the need for placing any concrete or zonal fares. Could make an exception for the very few busses that don’t terminate at an outlying RT interchange like the expresses. The 111 would be a big question mark though since theres equity arguments either way.
