Federal funding has helped keep Metro afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic.
FOX 5’s Bob Barnard says price changes aimed at bringing riders back to the transit service could include $1 bus fare and $2 late night rail fares, cheaper parking, discounted fares for low income riders and a consolidation of peak and off-peak rail fares.
The proposals are expected to be presented Thursday at a Metro board meeting.
