New Jersey Transit Bites The Dust: Fare Hike
We knew the positive praise of New Jersey Transit from a few days ago couldn’t last. FOX 5 NY News announced this morning on their newscast that New Jersey Transit will be raising ticket prices on buses and trains by 9.6% starting June 2007.
For a company that can hardly seem to get anything right I don’t think charging more for horrible service is the answer. The newscast noted that the reasoning behind the fare hike is to make up for a $60 million budget deficit.
Ummm, hello, why do they think the $60 million budget deficit came about in the first place? It’s time to revamp the operating policies and procedures. Raising the fare may be a short-term solution, but this time next year they’ll find themselves needing to raise the fare yet again to make up for the deficits that will come from mismanagement in 2007.
