Subway Fares and Slices, Still Running Neck and Neck

Posted by Adam Kuban, July 30, 2007 at 4:55 PM

The following is from the New York Times late last week. I forgot to mention it here on Friday. It's a story about the impending subway fare increase and makes the now-obligatory correlation between subway fares and slice prices:

These days, pizza routinely costs $2.25 in some neighborhoods. While a slice still goes for $2 in many places, and for even as little as $1.75, a charge of $2.25 is routine in Midtown. One pizzeria in Times Square demands $2.35. A parlor on the Upper West Side has the nerve — it’s hard to think of another word for it — to insist on $2.55.

Given these fundamentals of economics, the $2 fare seems as shaky as Lindsay Lohan’s hold on sobriety.
