336. DC Metro Fare Increase

DC Metro introduced the second phase of its fare increases for fiscal year 2010. The increase is aimed at closing the huge budget gap the transit agency faces. Metro is now charging extra for all rides during its new "peak of the peak" period, (aka the new busiest of the busiest times of day). Programming difficulties and rider confusion are complicating implementation of the new fares.
