Hearings begin today for bus, light-rail fare increases
Starting today, the public will be able to sound off on the Metropolitan Council's plan to raise fares for bus and light rail riders. The first in a series of public hearings will be held tonight in Blaine, with other meetings scheduled through July 15. The proposal calls for a 25-cent increase beginning Oct. 1 on all regular-route service, and a 50-cent increase on Metro Mobility service for people with disabilities. In addition, the morning rush-hour, and rush-hour fares, would be extended by one-half hour and start at 5:30 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. If approved, new cash fares would be $1.75, $2.25 or $3 depending on the type of service and time of day. New Metro Mobility fares would be $4 during weekday rush hours and $3 at other times. ... THURSDAY, JULY 10: 6:30-7:30 p.m. Maplewood Community Center 2100 White Bear Av., Maplewood
