谁能解释,美国公共交通,经常涨价,个个亏
本,但官员人人清廉,华盛顿地铁多次出事,也没人辞职。
中国有哪个城市地铁老是涨价,老是出事故,要被老百姓骂死了。
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A week after its first fatal accident in five years, Washington's Metro subway system is considering raising fares and reducing the frequency of trains.
The cuts are being considered as a way to reduce the amount of money that Metro will be requesting from local jurisdictions that fund the system. Right now, they're being asked to kick in an additional $140 million in the upcoming budget year. Metro says in a working budget document released Tuesday that raising rail and bus fares by 10 cents per ride would produce $22 million in revenue. It's also considering increasing the time between trains from 6 to 8 minutes during peak hours. Last week, a woman died and dozens were sickened after an electrical malfunction caused a train to fill with smoke.
