HBJ readers: Free Metro rides not an incentive
CORY CROW notes an unscientific online poll about METRO that the Houston Business Journal posted for its readers:
Houston Business Journal ... asked readers if Metro eliminated fares, would they consider riding the bus?
More than 670 people responded, with a majority — 59 percent — saying “no.” Thirty-two percent said “yes.”
Most readers who commented said that even with free fares, the city’s transportation system did not go where they needed to go, or that it took too long to get there. Others said they liked certain aspects of the light rail system, but that the plans as a whole for Metro were moving too slow.
That last graf sounds very much like the 420/30 comment on Chron.com we blogged about previously.
