Why are the train feeder routes slated for elimination?
The feeder routes are costly to operate because they run without passengers during half of their trips. These routes bring passengers to or from the train station, but rarely both directions as is the case with our regular fixed routes. As is the case with the poorly performing routes, these are also heavily supported financially by Pace as compared to the fares received. More importantly, because these routes only operate during rush hours, they are not included under the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Therefore eliminating these routes does not eliminate any ADA service.
