Short Answer: What impact does Capitol Metro's decision to raise fares by $.50 in January potentially have on the people of Austin?
Think logically here and think outside the box. Who does this impact the most and what will happen to their lives?
While the increased fares may help fund things in the city, they will impact many people negatively. Specifically homeless people, for which the bus is a main mode of transportation. 50 cents can make a big difference for someone who has to scrape together coins earned on the side of the road just to eat, much less to get from one place to another in a way other than walking. Some homeless people even use the bus as a place to sleep, for lack of any other safe, warm place to shut their eyes. The raised fares will definitely impact their lives negatively, and leave some of them exposed to the elements as winter sets in.
