Bus, rail fare hike sought Source: Charlotte Observer Saturday 28th January, 2012
Still struggling with stagnant sales-tax revenue, the Charlotte Area Transit System is seeking a fare increase for bus and light rail - its fourth hike since 2008.
CATS is proposing to raise the one-way local fare for buses and trains to $2, up from $1.75.
The fare hike is expected to generate an additional $2.5 million in revenue.
