Metro raises fares again

But basically didn't tell anyone about it. This morning while I was watching the news, they said something about commuters having to pay more for trains & buses this morning. What! I thought, maybe they mean in Richmond? or Baltimore? But no, when I got to the bus, it cost $1.25 (up from $1.20) and apparently trains are now $1.35 (up from $1.20). I checked Metro's website when I got to work this morning, and it said that the fares were being raised for only the second time in 9 years. That's great, but the first time in 9 years was LAST YEAR. So really it's the second time in 2 years. And last year, it was a whole big thing, and everyone knew about it. This year, not so much. It's not like I'm going to stop taking the bus or the train; it's still cheaper. I just wish they'd had more notice.
