On June 1, 2012, City Council will raise bus fares by another 20 cents on top of the 5 cent increase which took effect on Janury 1, 2012. We believe that a transit fare increase will only add to the financial burden faced by so many of our seniors, students, the poor, and people with disabilities. It is tantamount to a declaration of war against some of Winnipeg's most vulnerable citizens. Persons living with disabilities call upon Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz and City Council to roll back the 20-cent transit fare increase. We call upon City Hall to: STOP The Unfair Fare Hike! Good public transit benefits everyone. No other city makes its transit riders pay the cost of expanding infrastructure. Councillors Harvey Smith and Ross Eadie will introduce a motion to "roll back" the fare increase at City Council on February 22, 2012.WHAT CAN YOU DO?
