Enforcement costs includes pay systems, enfircer paychecks, gear, blood, and lawsuits for the victims
Yeah that's already factored in as savings and thus deducted from the costs:
I already deducted an extra $52 million for a good-looking number. Whatever the independent analysis didn't think of is not likely to go beyond this $52 million.
I dont think its polite to include the settlements of cases of police abuse. Or monetizing the dead.
If you don't include them then the cost is gonna be higher than $600 million. My point that it won't pay for itself and has to suck up funds that could've been used for infrastructure remains.
Oh. Yes. Means testing us not cost efficient.
What is the point you’re trying to make here?
Also, what does this have to do with means testing?
Thats what charging money for tax funded tra!sit amounts to. It's usually an anti homeless measure.
Regressive taxes are far, far more cost efficient than means testing. And like I said, the costs saved by eliminating fare are already factored in. They're $33 million per year, and I added an extra $52 million on top of that for good measure.
