BUS FARES * USA - OCTA listens to public about plan to increase that
The Santa Ana Terminal will close; riders will use nearby bus stops
Orange,CAL,USA -The Orange County Register, by SERENA MARIA DANIELS -October 27, 2008: -- The Orange County Transportation Authority took another step Monday toward deciding whether to raise the bus fare from $1.25 to $1.50 and boosting the price for monthly passes and trips for the elderly and the disabled... OCTA board members want to hear more public comment before a decision is made at a Nov. 24 meeting... Rising costs in fuel, health insurance and pensions are cited for the proposed increases... Leahy, the transportation agency's CEO, said a top priority is to keep buses running efficiently so those affected by a declining economy still have access to affordable transportation... The last time fares increased were in June 2005, when a one-way trip went from $1 to $1.25... CTA board members voted Monday to shutter, in December, the Santa Ana Transit Terminal, across the street from the Civic Center complex, nudging bus riders from out of the shade to nearby outdoor stops servicing four routes. Officials say the Santa Ana Terminal is ill-equipped to ventilate the bus fleet's natural-gas-powered buses... y Jebb Harris / The Orange County Register - OCTA : Busses wait at the OCTA facility in Garden Grove in this 2007 file photo)Labels: buses fares
