Book Overview

""The Revision of the Rapid Transit Fare Structure of the City of New York: Technical Monograph No. 3"" is a detailed analysis of the fare structure of the New York City subway system written by William S. Vickrey. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the fare system and offers a proposal for a revised fare structure.
