The Herald editors condemn the RTA equalization fare as a hoax and hazard. They argue a 54 percent fare increase discourages riding, buses overflow, and rush hour jams multiply while Hyde Park residents pay the world’s highest per mile rates. Suburban riders on the same lines enjoy much lower rates.
Hyde Park Kenwood Community Conference filed suit against recent RTA fare hikes citing a 10 percent rise deviating from proposed amounts. The group calls for bus and rail integration, off peak incentives, and rollback of IC fares to ease commuter burden and protect urban tax base.
The Conference filed suit against the R T A on Wednesday to force a rollback of the 54% IC fare increase that took effect November 1. Court costs must be funded by the Conference though donations cover legal costs. A public hearing on November 22 raised about $4000 in contributions from 40 attendees.
