Washington Metro proposes higher rail and bus fares
Original: metro
WMATA, the Washington area's transit authority, is seeking to raise fares for both rail and bus trips. The proposal, reported by Bethesda Magazine, would make commuting more expensive for riders across the DC region. It is also drawing attention in Brazil, where the word 'metro' is trending on Google, though likely for unrelated local transit reasons.
Why now: WMATA's proposal to raise transit fares affects daily commuters across the Washington region.
