TRANS, proposed CTA fair increase
To cover increasing fuel costs the CTA is considering raising fares for riders that pay with cash. See the Sun-Times (Rummana Hussain).
There is already a 10% differential between cash riders and credit card riders since the credit card riders get a 10% bonus. Now the differential will get even bigger.
For $100 a credit card rider will be able to take 62 one-way trips. A cash rider will be able to take only 50. The new differential will be about 25%. Should poor people have to pay 25% more to go to and from work?
