We're gonna have to let this one go, rising prices are an inevitable thing. But I also know barking up the wrong tree let's the cat get away.

What other sources fund the transit system besides the obvious FARES? That question must be examined fully before any real assessment can be made. I recommend to anyone who wishes to take a stand on the issue of fare increase, hop on a bus and begin taking some notes.

As you tour the city pay special attention to the ads/placards inside and outside the bus. See who's shingles are plastered all over bus stops and benches. Write down those observations, then see if you can find out what those contributions amount to.

For example, telecommunications spend millions upon millions in advertising, maybe they could throw transit users a meatier bone, so they can afford to ride the bus and still talk to their phone.
