STA Fare Meeting Reminder

No lunch plans today? If you work downtown, stop by the STA Plaza between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to give your opinion on STA's proposal to increase fares. Two drop-in style meetings are scheduled, one for today and one for tomorrow during those hours.

If you aren't familiar with the fare hikes here's the proposal on how much they would go up.

Are you sure it was today? I stopped by the Plaza at 1:20, checked both down and upstairs and saw nothing that would indicate someone was present to receive feedback on this.

Looks like you got me there Hank. It was posted at my bus stop that there were four meetings; today and tomorrow, then next Tuesday and Wednesday too. When I just double-checked the STA website though, it only mentioned three, minus today's meeting. I'm thinking I got some bad info. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you didn't go out of your way to go there.

Not a problem. I go for a walk at lunchtime.

So did you try again today Hank? I meant to make it down there at lunch as well but ended up having to run an errand.

Nope. Had to run an errand myself.
