Metro Budget Approved For Fiscal 1979 Fare Hike And Glenmont Push
Metro Board approved a $191.3 million operating budget for 1979 with a seven percent fare increase, extended weekday hours, and Saturday rail service starting at New Carrollton in November. The plan includes $655 million for rail construction and a first major commitment to the Glenmont line despite federal blocking studies. Controversy deepened as UMTA again sought extra studies on Glenmont. Board chair Sterling Tucker resigned as he announced his 1978 mayoral bid, and bus service to Fairfax City was debated amid its withdrawal from Metro.
