Metro takes commuters for a ride

Ignoring entreaties by hundreds of passengers and even the head of its own Riders’ Advisory Council, the Metro Board plowed ahead last week with the highest fare hike in the transit agency’s history. The increase comes on the heels of Metro management’s failure to mount a credible effort to curb wasteful spending and eliminate management inefficiencies. So, once again, Metro riders are being forced to pay for Metro management’s familiar mistakes. Commuters will pay up to $10.75 more per week to park at Metro lots and ride the trains when the increases go into effect Jan. 6.
