Could you plot median real wages against subway fare increases? E.g. if the average cost of a ticket has gone from $1.50 to $3 over 100 years, but the average real wages have tripled, the cost would be lower, correct?

Yeah, for sure. It might be interesting to make that if you can get the data and have the time. Given how other tickets cost like $5, I do wonder whether the idea of say a $3.50 ticket is viable as a way of increasing fare revenue.
