It creates a whole new set of wrong incentives in bus route planning, so some clever accountant will think to eliminate a marginal bus route (or not expand service) because of the added costs of paratransit that that route's existence is responsible for. And vice versa, paratransit users are now going to be lobbying to retain underused bus lines, because they keep the paratransit service in the area.crzwdjkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394805356595604336noreply@blogger.com
