Fare increase to bring back service?

Service restoration
The fare increase, if approved, will also help to add back service to help relieve crowding on 10 busy bus lines and the MAX Blue Line. Beginning on Sunday, September 4, the following bus lines will have additional trips: 4, 9, 12, 14, 35, 44, 52, 75, 78 and 94.

I would assume and hope that they're talking about other trips than that one. As they've said that the trip "is discontinued for the summer", just bringing back that trip would be bringing back what was already there.

If they're not, it would be like calling school bus service that returns with the start of the school year "additional service".

I just read they are trying to blame high gas prices for part of their reasons for an increase. So that $10/month 25¢/ride increase JUST for gas prices a few years ago wasn't enough, especially since prices haven't been that high since?

Please, please do something about the overcrowding on the #12. I'm begging you, TriMet!!
