It's not that bad, though. As part of their 2011 budget that they passed yesterday, Metro is indeed raising fares on buses and trains starting July 1—"the cash fare for regular riders will be increased 25 cents to $1.50; a day pass will be $6, up one dollar; the Metro weekly pass will be $20, up $3; and a monthly pass will be $75, up $13," according to The Source. Old-timers, students, the disabled, Medicare recipients, and Silver Line busway riders will pay the same fare. For comparison on other one-way transit fares: NY=$2.25, Chicago=$2.25, and Miami=$2.
