Metra up to full steam, facing financial crossroads | |

October 19, 2013 New board directors at Metra, up to full strength after an exodus this summer, waded into funding issues Friday after a budget presentation that projected no fare increases. Chief Financial Officer Tom Farmer said it's not necessary to raise fares in 2014, noting that an increase in sales tax revenues should help offset a decline in ridership. Metra ridership took a hit when the agency eliminated a nine rides for 10 deal on passes this February. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20131018/news/710189774/ |
