Most transfers across multiple transit agencies would be heavily discounted or even free under a new pilot project Bay Area public transit officials are currently considering.
The"free transfer" project would allow riders who transfer between two or more transit agencies to only pay the full fare for the first transit agency they use.
"The proposed policy is, in principle, that the act of transferring between agencies should not increase the overall fare paid," Eiseman said Monday at a committee meeting for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission."Customers can use all of services as one system." "We'll be closely monitoring how the pilot is working in terms of growing ridership being our overall most important goal," Bacon said."And then secondarily to that, encouraging users to transfer between agencies and making more trips on transit than they might be making under the status quo."
