Reply to comment by ChrisFromLongIsland in NYC Subway Fare over last 120 years adjusted for inflation by dust1990

do you have a source that the fare used to cover the cost? because that seems incredibly unrealistic beyond maybe the first few years. the fare literally didn't change until after WWII.

I think that the fsres stopped covering the cost about 1915.

no idea if that's true but thats about what i would've assumed, give or take -- so doesn't that kind of make the previous comment somewhat meaningless?
