Alexander Shumsky: "Fair tariffs for public transport"

"All this is happening against the backdrop of the fact that... the price of one trip on public transport (in particular, the metro) does not make any practical and economic sense. Are you surprised by this point of view? Surely it seems absurd to you. By the end of the post, you can change your opinion.

But first, tell me the price of one trip by taxi, train or plane. You will say that this request is absurd, because the price of a trip on these types of transport depends on the distance. This is also true for urban public transport. But we are accustomed to assessing the cost of using public transport through trips, and not through distances.

As a result, a trip from Oktyabrskaya to Park Kultury (one station) and a trip from Mitino to Zhulebino (through the whole city) cost the same (so far 28 rubles using Troika)!
