Half-price fares for snap recipients, but sky high fares for everybody else. If they want more ridership, they should reduce fair costs for everybody as an incentive.

They need to get to the point where riding metro is more appealing than driving and they are doing the opposite.[/quote]
The proposed metro fare changes are basically WMATA saying that they are a regional system in name only and have zero interest in trying to win back suburban commuters. If MD and VA representatives on the Board approve this budget, they are really not very smart.

MD and VA lawmakers request more accountability from WMATA on the budget while DC keeps throwing more money at them. This is the result, fare cuts for DC and fare increases for MD and DC with no proposed cost controls. This transit system would rather play politics than reform itself. It’s the beginning of a death spiral.[/quote]
