Why is public transit staying the same price when gas keeps going up?

Question

the public transit in my city is owned by a private company though

Answer 1

Your taxes keep going up!!!!

Answer 2

taxes at work

Answer 3

SHHHH!!!!

Answer 4

Since it's owned by the city, there has to be a vote to raise the price of it.

Answer 5

most transit agencies are subsidized anyway and in most cases

before a transit agency can raises fares they have to hold a public meeting to tell the public (they just cant say well today

we will change our fare from 1.00 to $1.25 )

and they can do usually only around certain times of the year

(sine they would have to reprint the fare brooches or poster

etc)

Answer 6

The higher gas goes up, more people take public transportation, and it actually makes more money.  They could probably lower the price.
