But even raising the fares to $1.25 &#8211; the rate in Indianapolis &#8211; would generate only about $90,000 in six months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, this would equate to $180,000 in a year, right?\u00c2\u00a0 If the rate would be increased to $1.50, that would make it $360,000, or $1.75 &#8211; $520,000.\u00c2\u00a0 This is assuming that the initial $90,000 is the extra $.25 per passenger.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other part of that sentence that caught my eye was the phrase, &#8220;the rate in Indianapolis.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 So, I did some digging.\u00c2\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indygo.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IndyGo<\/a>, the bus system in Indianapolis, had 10,033,477 riders with total operating expenses of $50,450,249.\u00c2\u00a0 If you divide this out, their operating expense per passenger trip is $5.02 vs $4.78 here in Fort Wayne.\u00c2\u00a0 So, we&#8217;re in a little bit better shape than Indy.\u00c2\u00a0 However, these are based on 2006 figures.\u00c2\u00a0 Last year was the start of the real gasoline price hikes with an even greater impact in this field this year.<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me most about this entire situation, is why raise the rates only $.25?\u00c2\u00a0 That&#8217;s hardly worth the effort.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess the real question is why the Citilink Board seems so resistant to increasing fares?\u00c2\u00a0 And why the public seems to think it ok to subsidize public transportation at these rates.\u00c2\u00a0 The problem is that at this point, much more than a quarter rate hike probably would damage their riders.\u00c2\u00a0 However, if fares had been increasing somewhat over the last year or two especially, it might not be such a shock.\u00c2\u00a0 Something has to give, and it&#8217;s not going to be an increase in property taxes as that avenue has been cut off by our Governor.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/citilink\/dscf12334.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Citilink Board President Fred Lanahan &amp;amp; Board Member Wendy Barrott in front of one of the new Hybrid buses.
