"If it were up to me, there would be a fare increase now with the semi-automatic surcharge language adjusted to reflect today's gas prices."

Well said!!!!!!!!! That is what I think as well. Why are they talking about $2.70 now??????????????? Gas is nearly $4.00!

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If the city wants to give us more money, I'm going to take it. Sure I'd rather have a fare increase. I'd also like to win the lottery. It doesn't look like either is going to happen soon.
