On Wednesday, June 8, two acquaintances and I took three buses, and each one cost $1.75! The recent 25 cent increase wouldn’t seem like a significant difference to someone who doesn’t take the bus regularly, because it’s only a quarter more. However, when someone takes the bus, it's very rare that it’s only one ride. In the past, bus transfers were available, but those have been removed. If someone needs to take two buses, they would need to pay $3.50!
The majority of people who regularly take the bus have a low income. Increasing the price and removing the transfers has had a huge effect on me. I don’t even take the bus that often, so I cannot begin to imagine the effect it has had on others.
