[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love all the people who are banking on the Purple Line when they haven’t published fares yet. The kabuki dance will be hilarious. The private, for-profit company is going to propose a massive fare and then everyone will be shocked, which will leave the state to have to come back and provide a subsidy to the company to keep it affordable (on top of the minimum revenue guarantee that they already provided.) The Purple Line is going to be a case study in wasteful transit boondoggles. [/quote] You sound just like the people opposing Hogan's plan for highway widening, except for "toll" instead of "fare". Don't forget the reason why the Purple Line is a public-private partnership: because the ICC used up all of Maryland's borrowing ability for years. And of course the tolls on the ICC are not high enough to cover the costs of the ICC.[/quote]
