Magic Bus
In Chinatown, Vans Give Rise to a Bus War (nytimes)
We've all been wondering about the math:
Mr. Liang explains his ledger this way: it costs about $800 to cover the driver's salary, tolls, fuel, maintenance and insurance every round trip; on a 57-passenger bus, if the bus is full, he makes about $340; if it is not, he could lose money... Drivers receive $100 for every round trip.
Still don't make no sense. The article actually repeats several times that it don't make no sense. I say don't ask. The answer can't be good.
