Things that make you go hhmm.... 6

Transit commissions, this one has been around for awhile.

There is a claim that ridership is down and that they did not garner the revenue that they expected for a particular fiscal period.

Solution: cut the number of routes (so now we don't have to spend the money for gas or employees to drive on them) and up the fare price (so we make more from the people who ride the routes that are left)

This one is just one of those situations that you gotta shake your head over.

More money + fewer routes = more profit? (Fewer routes - fewer riders = less profit)

Sorry, Looks like the same profit margin, possibly. still can't see the sense....

Hhmmm....
