MUNI Youth Fast Pass - 300% Increase!
|
|
MUNI wants to
make Youth Fast Passes $30!
The San
Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA)
has proposed raising the price of Youth, Senior, and Disabled
Fast Passes to $30 beginning April 1, 2010.
This represents a 300% increase in the price of a Youth Fast
Pass
in a single year (in May of 2009, the Youth Fast Pass
cost $10; as of December 2009, the pass currently costs $15).
It's time to
fight back! Stop MUNI from balancing the budget on the
backs of youth, seniors, and disabled.
Below are opportunities for you to make your voice heard
about
this
fare increase.
