Fare to Go Up in January
VTA is planning to raise fares again on January 1, 2005.
"Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority will likely raise its adult, one-way fare from $1.50 to $1.75 and its youth fare from $1.25 to $1.50. A one-way adult express fare would go up 50 cents, from $3 to $3.50. Day passes, which cost the same as three one-way fares, would go up correspondingly...
“'We think they’re fair,' said Gage, who is also a county supervisor."
VTA is planning its usual public hearings from March 15-18. The article also stated that VTA plans to raise fares annually from now on.
They will do anything except really cut unnecessary costs where they lie--bloated administration.
