Just like soviet bread lines or traffic jams, indeed.
Plus, a per-km model can sometimes end up with tickets which are way too cheap because of short distances. For example, a train trip with a $0.15/km model from Dorval to Montreal would cost less than a bus ticket (about $2.50).
That said, I would just like ticket prices to be based on the price of driving, but with adjustments up and down depending on demand.
The point, in the end, should be to COMPETE WITH THE CAR FOR COST AND THE PLANE FOR TIME.
