The New York Times reported (Feb. 17, 1996) that subway ridership declined after a fare
increase: There were nearly four million fewer riders in December 1995, the first full month after
the price of a token increased 25 cents to $1.50, than in the previous December, a 4.3 percent
decline.
(a) Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for subway rides.
(b) According to your estimate, what happens to the Transit Authoritys revenue when the fare
rises?
