Excerpt from A Study and Review of the Problem of Passenger Transportation in Philadelphia by an Unified System of Lines: An Analysis of the Plans Proposed for Its Solution With Suggested Methods for Their Improvement
The entire transportation problem of the city contains but two fundamental elements service and car fare - what kind of service do the people want, and how much are they willing to pay for it?
It is a purely economic problem, the service demanded by the public constituting the cause and the car fare the effect.
If looked at from the other direction, and the car fare be fixed, the resulting service will be automatically determined.
Rapid transit facilities are simply one element of service in the general transportation prob lem of the City. As the quality and amount of service rendered by a system must be a large factor in determining the car fare, it may be said that the control and solution of the entire problem centers in the fare.
