Very few transit agencies have fares that cover services. I know others said this, but I wanted to add my take as well

I’m not advocating that they do. Fixed costs should be fully subsidized. I’m only advocating that revenues are set so that during a median year, each additional rider on average, provides income that is proportional to the level of service needed to move that rider through the system.
