What denominator are you used to base that calculation of 60k per daily rider on? Curious how you arrived at that figure. Is that spread out over the years since 2015 when it started?

All things considered - any infrastructure investments is going to have a while to pay off. But we don’t necessarily need to have a “ROI” when it comes to public goods. This is a service our taxes pay for to better all people in the area that choose to use it, while getting less cars on the road and reducing traffic in hartford. If you’re skeptical and want to hear a decent podcast on why public transit should be free, I’d encourage you to listen to this great freakonomics podcast from a few months ago.
