So, if you haven't already heard, the MTA board voted in the cutbacks and changes. You can read the press release here.

They still leave open the option of restoring routes as soon as funding can be found. I haven't done the calculation yet, but now that fares are up, it wouldn't even take the full $2.9 million to restore all the cut routes. Of course I'm sure we'd all rather have the old fares again, considering this is the second fare increase in recent memory.

So this would be a great time to contact your local Metro Council rep (or indeed all of them) and let them know what you think. Be nice! They meet to discuss the overall budget on June 3.

update: Ack!
