The star now has another story with the results of their poll about how much people think it should cost
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/201...nt_to_pay_20_or_less_for_pearson_express.html
84% seem to think it should be under $20 5% above $20 and while it is not stated, I guess 11% don't know/don't care.
I am sure this will fuel the "its way overpriced" discussion but I wonder if public opinion is the right way to decide the price of anything.....if you were asked how much you think going to a movie should cost....do you think there might be a tendancy to come in lower than what Cineplex thinks? Milk might be a good place to start voting on pricing? Bread? Gasoline?
I am not a huge fan of the Star but this sort of public outrage piece (with no attempt to explain the impact of pricing...ie - your taxes may go up if the fare is lower to subsidize the losses or the trains are small (by necessity) so ttc type pricing might mean huge/unsafe crushes on the trains) serves very little purpose.
