Increasing expenses, decreasing revenue
In the graphic at the right, provided by the
city, one can see expenses slowly rising while
revenue slowly declines. One explanation or
this is increased ridership. The Gold Route, or
example, has seen an increase o 738 percent
since 2007 and now runs nine buses com-
pared to two in 2007.
Another explanation is bus contracts between
the city and some apartment complexes that
give student residents ree rides.
The contracts cover less than 20 percent o
the expenses on these routes. City sta told
the council that, while every ride the transit
system provides costs an average o $2.79,each ride on the Black and Gold routes brings
in just 16 cents.
Why are the changes being made?
The public transportation und has been
greatly depleted in recent years and is about
to run out o money. I the City Council makes
no changes, the und will hit $0 in July. The
proposed changes are designed to keep the
und intact through the upcoming fscal year
until a long-term solution can be ound.
