Board Approves BART Fare Reduction

Billed as BART's "small economic stimulus program," riders will see a small reduction in fare in the next few months. According to BCN (via CBS 5), "The Board voted to spend part if its budget surplus on a four-month fare-cut to kick in later this year. " The small fare-cut amounts to a whopping 15 cent savings for, say,"a trip from Walnut Creek to downtown SF." It will last for about four months. The reduction, it seems, is some sort of reward for riders who've stuck with BART after numerous fare increases and cuts to service.
