Metro fares not increasing?

Thankfully, Metro managers have recommended a budget whereby there will be no hike in fares, as cost increases will be offset by larger local government subsidies instead. This alone is good news, but is made sweeter by the addition of 72 rail cars and considerable dedication to increasing Metrobus reliability. However, there are yet important proposed reforms that remain unfunded, such as increased service during some weekends and holidays, and pay raises for janitorial staff. I look forward to the public hearings in the spring.
