And they're right. People who regularly travel before 9:30 probably are
still in work, so there would be a loss of revenue. But those who mainly
travel after 9:30 are much more likely to be retired, on discretionary
trips, so there's very little loss of revenue.
Why is this so hard for you to grasp?

Because I know employed people who delay their journey until 9:30 to get
a free ride [tm].


I know people who have three nipples. Doesn't mean that they're an in
any way significant proportion of the population. Likewise, your
anecdata isn't useful.

Mr. Recliner used the word "likely" for a reason.


I happen to disagree.
