30 Percent Gain For L Fare Boost At Boston Elevated
During the first seven days of operation under the seven cent fare the Boston Elevated saw gross receipts rise 30 percent over the prior week. Trustees could not predict if this will cover a six percent dividend and fund new equipment and higher upkeep. The projected 40 percent gain from a five to seven cent increase is not exact due to riding curtailment. The week’s gain may be inflated as some riders bought more tickets than needed. Still the 30 percent increase is viewed as satisfactory.
