County officials have announced a price increase for public transportation. Metrobus and Metrorail fares will go up by 50 cents starting in January. This change is expected to have a positive impact on certain bus routes.

The increased fare will save 13 bus routes that serve more than 4,000 riders. In addition to the fare increase, the county is also considering ending free rides on Metromover. Further details on these changes can be found through the source.
