Increase Bus Fares, Decrease Monthly Pass

Current pricing for monthly bus pass is $45 and current one-time use of bus is $1.50.  Let’s decrease the monthly pass to $25, but increase the one-time use fee to $2.00.  This will, I think, get the people who just get on the bus without paying, to pay for the lower one time fee.  This will also increase revenues from tourists.  Note that no public transit system is as efficient as Japan’s, bu they pay about double or more what we pay.  For instance: A bus ride is based on how far you go, so 50 min bus ride may cost you $7.00 each way!  Which is why $2.00 for 3 hours is very just.  

James Brady
