Elevated fare hike to seven cents favored by insiders
Officials argue seven cent fare would bring six to seven million dollars annual revenue, while six cent rise would add about three and a half million. They claim the revenue cannot offset a four million dollar deficit and dismiss zone pricing as unfeasible. The current five cent fare is praised as the world's cheapest and rides can extend beyond four miles, up to fifteen miles. The new board of public trustees has not met yet to discuss the plan.
