"The commuter rail sponsor will <br />offer multiple-ride far m_e~ia" <br /> <br />The Central Corridor mileage and running time is figured into the average speed <br />calculations for each of the other First Tier corridors when extending the service to the <br />"2nd CBD" in the table above. This corridor's average speed is also listed separately to <br />illustrate the effect of the frequent station stops on this corridor. Average station spacing <br />along the Central Corridor is 2 miles which, when coupled with civil and traffic <br />restrictions, reduces the Central Corridor's average operating speed. <br /> <br />Fare Structure <br /> <br />The commuter rail fare structure to be adopted within each corridor as part of the <br />advanced corridor planning process is as follows: <br /> <br />1 0-15 miles $2.00 <br /> <br />15-20 miles $2.75 <br />20-25 miles $3.50 <br />25-30 miles $4.25 <br />30-35 miles $5.00 <br />35-40 miles $5.75 <br /> <br />The use of concentric circle fare zones (measured on a straight-line basis out from the <br />central business district), as well as the five-mile radius between succeeding fare zones, <br />is common within the commuter rail industry. Note that distance is measured as a <br />straight-line distance, as opposed to the actual rail mileage from the CBD to that station. <br /> <br />Suburb-to-suburb travel would be possible by purchasing a ticket good from the <br />originating zone to the first CBD. If both the origin and destination were in the same fare <br />zone, no additional charge would be collected, if the destination were in a fare zone <br />further out than the origin, a zone charge would be collected on the train to the <br />destination. This practice is consistent with that in use at other carriers having multiple <br />lines radiating out of a CBD. <br /> <br />commuter Rail System Plan 4-18 <br /> <br /> <br />
