They can't possibly be getting much adoption when they pick a couple of random cities for fares that I suppose are "OK" but no one is going to jump over tables trying to grab a $99 one way fare to San Antonio.

I would think though that they are tracking how many Ding! fares are purchased, and I suppose the volume is good enough to continue with this program, so maybe the bay area is just a poor market right now.

But gosh, I used to be a Ding! fanatic, now it's just dumb.
