Quite right, SeanTrans.
I'm talking about a change in how individual routes are assessed for profitability. That should have no bearing on overall costs for the entire system.
Also, think about the difference in calculations that could happen if you apply the revenue to the route that the initial fare was paid on versus if it was an average spread across the whole system. Routes with a higher proportion of Metropass users would be disadvantaged in the first scenario... a minor calculation difference creating what could be a major difference in results.
The only ones doing more than 100% are the subway lines.

But if there's 80% cost recovery at the farebox overall for the system surely there's some routes doing 60% or less while others do 100% or more?
