[size=large]FEE INCREASE LIKELY FOR SF MUNI[/size]


SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)  -- Like many other agencies around the nation, San Francisco's Municipal Transit Agency is running into hard financial times and officials are warning riders to be prepared for service reductions and fare hikes.


(blah blah blah, the economy, etc.)


“The last thing we want to do, especially in this economy, is dig in their pockets for more fares.â€Â


If approved, the regular adult fare would be increased by 50 cents, bringing the total to $2.00 per person. Discount fares for seniors, youth and the disabled could also be increased by 25 cents. Fast pass rates are already scheduled to be increased in July.


Reductions in service could also be another result of budget cuts as fewer people work the lines which could also result in delays.
