Raise fares

There's a simple solution to cutbacks in public transportation - raise fares for each trip.
Thanks for this note -  But on average, they get around a third of their operating money from fares. Most of the money comes from state and local governments.
So, we should raise fares for the public who uses the transit.
You can't?
Why?
Because then fewer people will use the public transit?
Prices changes can change behavior?
That's why we don't want higher taxes.
But if you pay more for public transit, we might consider it. You go first.
