Shutterstock One of the largest transit organizations in the nation is exploring the elimination of fares for students and the economically disadvantaged.
Thanks to a unanimous vote, L.A. Metro will move forward with developing a plan to devise a “fareless initiative” that would make transit free for K-12 and college students, as well as low-income riders.
“This is the biggest equity thing we can do. This is what it’s all about,” said Mike Bonin, a member of the Metro Board of Directors and the Los Angeles City Council, during the May 27 board meeting.
Metro findings show that 70 percent of riders are considered low income, meaning they earn less than $35,000 a year.
