Two-Cent Fares Boost Rail Profits in State Readiness
The two-cent fare, long opposed by railroads, has taken effect without major clash. Lake Shore’s annual report shows gross earnings up $3,943,668 and net up $2,599,215, despite $3,024,863 higher expenses and $5,000,000 spent on improvements. Ohio law and broader lines fostered increased passenger traffic, supporting the claim that such fares are profitable and will spread as other states consider adoption.
