The MBTA's new fare-hike plan

The MBTA�s new fare-hike plan - News - The Phoenix: "The Metropolitan Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) wants to start charging riders who take the Green Line outbound, in an effort to bring additional revenue to the cash-strapped agency. The change, part of a larger fare-increase proposal announced last week (which would bring rides up from $1.25 to $1.70), would go into effect in January 2007.
Conveniently, the T has scheduled public hearings and workshops - at which T riders can weigh in on the proposed changes - for May and June, when many Green Line riders are out of town. If you can't make it, you can send your concerns to fareproposal@mbta.com . "
