Simply raise MST by 10 and you may see riots. MST is calculated on ordinary passenger fare, and most of these 25k people travel by M/E or higher and not DEMU and proposed MEMU. Start a monthly increase of 5 for MST to match with at least 30, then 40 journeys per month. Many of those use the facility to travel multiple times everyday, mostly traders or their agents/employees. No poor people will be affected by a hike of 5 in their monthly bill.
please wait...Translate to EnglishJust bump up the monthly pass price by 10 bucks and you might stir up some chaos. The pass price is based on the regular passenger fare, and most of these 25k folks prefer traveling by Mail/Express or better trains, not the Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) or the proposed Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU). Let's jack up the monthly increase by 5 each time to hit a minimum of 30, and then 40 trips per month. A lot of these folks use the pass to travel multiple times a day, mainly merchants or their reps/staff. The poorer crowd won't feel the heat much with a 5 increase in their monthly tab.
