October 20, 20102 Comments on Transit: Fare increase may lead to less revenue
In spite of 25% fare increase, bus service revenue drops 8%
I realize the title of this post is hardly economic rocket science, but its worth examining as transit agencies continue to look at fare increases in an attempt to close budget gaps. When transit agencies increase their fares, fewer people ride. The falling ridership may result in a net zero gain on fare collection, even though prices went up.

It’s not really my thing, but some of you may enjoy the photos from a blessing of bikes in Menlo Park, California this last weekend. St Bedes Episcopal Church is on Sand Hill Road, a very popular riding route for avid cyclists from all around the San Francisco Peninsula. Rev. Jane McDougle says the blessing shows support of healthy travel and environmentally sound choices and acknowledges the cyclist’s right to use public roads safely.
In any case, blessings for you as you ride your bicycle. Bicycling is my meditation and my quiet time, whether I’m going fast or slow.
