Proposed Bus Fare Increase Opposed by Cumberland Officials
Cumberland March 21 The Mayor and Council voted unanimously against a proposed rise in Potomac Edison Company bus fares. The firm wants 19 cent base fares kept but seeks rate schedule changes by May. Critics claim higher fares would pressure electric rates and cite street use costs and safety concerns amid sanitation issues. In Hagerstown, Potomac Edison suggests a possible fare increase similar to Cumberland’s, noting shared factors prompting the Cumberland application.
