Publisher's Synopsis
""The Revision of the Rapid Transit Fare Structure of the City of New York: Technical Monograph No. 3"" is a detailed analysis of the fare structure of the New York City subway system written by William S. Vickrey. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the fare system and offers a proposal for a revised fare structure. Vickrey examines the history of the subway fare system, the current structure, and the problems associated with it. He also considers the economic and social implications of different fare structures and proposes a new system based on distance traveled rather than a flat fee. The book is a technical monograph intended for transportation professionals, policymakers, and scholars interested in the economics of public transportation. It offers a thorough analysis of the New York City subway system and provides valuable insights into the challenges of creating an effective fare structure for a large urban transit system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
