$.25 increase x number of bums on the bus / normal people on the bus = 8% less bums on the bus. do it!

Did Metro acquire a copy of the USPS "Rate Increase Schedule" guidebook?

Wait a second - they increased fares three months ago; my $2 fare from Seattle to Bellevue went to $2.25. Another increase? F that. Get it right the first time. If another one is going to be necessary this quickly, I've got to think they guys running the show are a bunch of f'n idiots.

I think it's because they want to increase the frequency of bus service to also meet the demand.

I still dont see why they would have to raise fares if so many more people are riding. Is it purely because of fuel prices outweighing new ridership? But anyways..bring on $5 a gallon! Maybe we can pass a sweet light rail infrastructure bill!
