I would like to offer my observations in regard to Mr. Young's comment's
concerning the increased use of public transportation in California.
Specifically the matter concerning the need for increased subsidies due to
greater than anticipated ridership. As a believer in the law of supply and
demand I find it difficult to accept this statement. If the ridership is up
then the revenue should also be up. If the increased revenue is not sufficient
to cover the increased ridership costs then the price of the ticket is not
enough. Everyone has their pet peeves, and I will try not to rant too much,
but the people who use a particular service should be the ones to pay for it,
not me. And while I'm on the subject of big government remember, every time a
new law is enacted you lose a little more of your rights. I'm thinking of
asking the government for a subsidy, or at least price controls, the next time
I need a new set of tires.
