Metra board approves 10.8 percent fare hike | |
November 15, 2014 Metra leaders Friday approved an average 10.8 percent fare hike that will pay employees more and buy essential equipment but won't deliver any extras such as more express trains or additional weekend and late-night service. Board Director John Zediker of Naperville suggested halving the increase. "Clearly, we can't balance everything on the backs of the riders" he said.
