Bring Another Quarter for the Bus

Metro just can't make up its mind about fare increases, so we say bring another quarter just in case. Just a few weeks ago, Metro said it wouldn't be increasing fares for a second time this year, but as of yesterday they'd decided that a fare increase is indeed necessary and imminent. Starting November 1, it may cost you an extra 25 cents to ride the bus. Another 25-cent increase may come in January 2010 as well. Like we said, with all the "may"s and "maybe"s, better to be safe and bring a couple extra quarters the next time you're riding Joe Metro.
