| Jun 11, 2020 at 9:40 | comment | added | joojaa | @MichaelTsang each transfer causes a nontrivial chance of delay and therefore to missed connection. And yes the assumption that fare causes this is quite untrue in many places. Most of northern europe for example has unlimited changes as the ticket is valid for a time not fare. | |
| Jun 11, 2020 at 8:35 | comment | added | Michael Tsang | The assumption is created in a situation (transfer fare, high frequency) which is the opposite of where it applied (free transfer with not-so-high frequency). Does it invalidate the assumption? | |
