Fare Hike Blocked in Arizona Busline Application
The Arizona Corporation Commission struck from Metropolitan Buslines Inc. the student fare increase clause in its fare rise request for Phoenix area buses. The hearing reviewed a July 31 temporary increase and considered permanent changes that would raise all fares by removing token sales. The decision followed remarks by Assistant Attorney General Joseph P. Ralston noting the July increase did not cover children. Charles F. Koors, ex Los Angeles bus operator and Metropolitan’s new general manager, testified the company had a fiscal year deficit of 33,416.50 despite revenues of 429,366.50.
