Knock yourself out, double the ticket prices. Please.
The industry is already peopled by too many ‘cowboys’, perhaps this strategy will get rid of a few.
No other transit business behaves like commercial airlines. For other transit businesses the ticket price is the ticket price, on a bus, a train, a ferry, or any other mode of transportation, it doesn’t matter if you purchase your ticket 3 months ahead, 3 weeks ahead, 3 days ahead, or 3 minutes ahead of travel, the price is the same. Except for air travel. Now why would the most technically advanced travel industry in the world sell its tickets like used car salesmen?
There is no structure, no sense to it. It’s no wonder there’s no stability.
If you really want to do something, why not address this lunacy?
