LinkLinks Washington Times: Metro board wary of proposed fare increase By Editor On Nov 2, 2018 36 Share Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld’s budget for fiscal 2020 includes several service improvements, but some Metro Board members are wary of a proposed fare increase. Mr. Wiedefeld’s budget calls for extending rush-hour service, replacing six-car trains with eight cars, eliminating Green Line turnbacks and imposing a $2 flat weekend fare. The estimated $30 million cost, he says, can be offset by $10 million worth of revenue, leaving Maryland, Virginia and the District to pony up the remaining $20 million. 2020 BudgetMetroTransportationWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority 36 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
