They already raised their rates 100% when they implemented the "day pass" and got rid of transfers. Their level of service is still undeserving of a rate increase in my not so humble opinion. Several high-volume routes aren't operated on Sunday at all, which makes travel to grocery/other stores rather expensive since the only option besides walking in the 100+ degree heat is to take a cab.

What other form of transportation can say that? Also, even with the increase it still doesn't cover the cost of running the bus system.
