New Yorks Underground Battle and the Ten Cent Fare Question
A New York subway world of squeeze plays and elbows pits riders against each other in a daily rat race. Experts advocate a ten cent fare to ease overcrowding and fund improvements, while politicians favor a slower path with broader taxes. The system spans 544 miles with 6.7 million riders daily, offering 22 miles per nickel and 78 minutes to ride, ending at Coney Island on summer Sundays when sardine crowds retreat to the beach.
