Action Alert: Write your concerns about possible Metrolink fare increases or service cuts to metrolinkfares@scrra.net. You can also fax them to the attention of Metrolink Fares at (213) 452-0452. All comments must be submitted and received no later than the time of the public hearing scheduled for Friday, December 11, 10 a.m. A sample letter from The Transit Coalition is now available. With less than 72 hours until the Metrolink Board of Directors votes on whether to raise fares or cut train runs, the debate over which outcome is less painful is ramping up. Those who support service cuts say they are fed up with fare hikes. Those who support a fare increase, such as The Transit Coalition, say that service cuts will rip apart the possible trip combinations riders can make, making the service less useful. Neither option is ideal, especially in a recession, but after years of neglecting transit that is the situation we find ourselves in. Please help us preserve service by voicing your concerns to Metrolink!
