[quote=urbannanny][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metro is killing me with these fare hikes. We pay some of the highest public transportation costs in the country already. I thought it was crazy when Metro announced so called peak of the peak rates. Since then The cost has gone up several more times. Rents increased $100-150 per month in a single year due to the influx of families to the rental market after all the foreclosures. I may have to make some adjustments next year. Making $15 per hour I am STILL eligible for food assistance and Medicaid.

Is anyone else looking at raising their rates for COL?[/quote]
Are your employers in the same boat, OP?[/quote]

Possibly. My employers don't drive and they own their home. Conceivably, they are also dealing with higher than inflation cost of living increase in other areas. I don't blame my employer for my expenses, though. I need to make some changes in terms of my skills and services so I can earn a higher pay. Hope that question wasn't leading to an implication that I was blaming MB....[/quote]
Silly troll.[/quote]

I was on my mobile when I fare the fare increase notice. Now, I am on my computer, you can see that I am logged in and notice I always post as a nanny... because I am a nanny.[/quote]
