Interestingly Enough

New Jersey Transit might only cost each taxpayer in NJ, like, a few hundred dollars per year if taxes did all the funding and fares none of the funding. In other words.... give everyone a free ride.... and your taxes might go up by perhaps a hundred bucks, maybe two hundred, but at least you'd get to ride into the city for free. (This would result in overcrowded trains, however, so it is wise to charge people for at least some NJ Transit services, just as we charge people to use the Pike and the Parkway.) (New Jersey's per capita income is in the $25,000 - 40,000 range, so the cost of a zero farebox recovery NJ Transit is certainly affordable. In fact, teachers are a much bigger headache at several thousand dollars per student, which likely translates into thousands of dollars per taxpayer as well. I'd need more info up front to do the math properly, however.)
