RTA director seeks end to local IC stops amid fare dispute
At a Hyde Park Kenwood meeting RTA operations chief Leo Kusik proposes discontinuing local IC service and running I C G as an express to the suburbs but the board orders city operation. He cites drastic fare inequalities with Hyde Park 18.2 cents per mile versus Homewood 6.8 cents and an 85 percent Basic Fare plus 15 cent zone fare. The audience challenges the tariff while Kusik notes a $9.5 million subsidy to the I C G and a 23 percent rider loss at the 55th St station since 1970.

He cited personal experience and Chicago and Northwestern railfares as the basis, while critics urged fair inner city rail service and lamented loss of the 25 ride ticket.
