Knowing where people are gezegde

 Knowing where people are, where they want to ride the bus and where they want to get off allows us to put the busses out exactly where people want to go and that allows us to keep the fares at the same level that they've been for 10 years despite what we've seen fuel prices and other costs do.

 Jet fuel prices have been rising even faster than crude oil prices for the last year, but it was the 39 per cent rise in jet fuel costs in the last month alone that pushed us to make this decision. We have made incredible progress in lowering our operational costs for over two years now. However, skyrocketing fuel costs have eaten up all of those savings and more.

 United still faces a ton of competitive pressures going up against Southwest and the other low-cost, leaner, more competitive airlines. United and the other carriers still face high jet-fuel prices. That takes up a large chunk of their costs. They have cut so many costs since they went into bankruptcy. They cannot eliminate many more costs. Over time, fares will have to go up.

 Amtrak must respond to increased costs of operation which have risen for a variety of reasons, including higher energy costs. We periodically adjust fares upward in response to market conditions and we try to set fares at a level that will produce the most revenue.

 Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket. During this time period, our average fare increased by only $15.

 We're hoping to be able to offset the price of fuel ... by having more passengers ride ... instead of having to raise fares,

 The only way these guys can escape higher fuel prices is by raising fares. The industry is working hard to raise prices. And so far they have been successful.

 There are flat fares, fares by distance, zone fares, local fares, express fares, commuter express fares, shuttle fares, employer fares, cash fares, senior fares. We have monthly passes, semester passes, hotel passes ... . Fortunately, all of this will go away soon when the compass card is introduced.

 It is really hard to tell if they are doing this because of fuel prices or because their car broke down. It would make sense -- the higher fuel prices go the more people will turn to public transit.

 The taxi industry locally is subject to rate regulation, which means there is always a gap between the appearance or timing of spikes and the ability to adjust rates and offset the costs. My company has really been affected by this for the last two years in a bad way. We can't really adjust prices to the level that allows us to adjust to the increases in the price of fuel.

 In spite of rising costs and the carriers' desire to raise fares to cover those costs, there's going to be some real difficulty in accomplishing that. It does not look like demand is firming up at all. And therefore I see downward pressure on prices.

 Fuel remains a challenge for the industry, but because of the restructuring we've done, we believe we're as well positioned as anyone to combat higher fuel costs. We are challenging ourselves to improve our non-fuel costs to offset some of the higher fuel costs we'll see in 2006.

 Cathay Pacific has done a very good job in controlling costs but the scope for further cuts may be limited. It all depends on the fuel price. Some people say prices have peaked but they are still volatile.

 Southwest has to expand aggressively over the next two to three years because they've got to spread out their costs in order to keep their fares down. They have high labor costs and in order to protect their costs they have to put out more product.

 The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.
