The TriMet board creates false panic and Wai accuses Simmons of racism

These sock puppets are trying to make the case that if TriMet doesn't get a fare increase they will have to cut service---It's completely false and I can prove it. If TriMet was to raise the fares to $2.75 that's a 10% increase which will be hugely detrimental to people living in poverty. And is 10% more fare revenue going to create any positive change? I don't see how. This is agenda2030 squeeze every penny of of the "rabble". Couldn't be a worst time to be discussing this!

-First of all the TriMet budget is $1.9 BILLION-

-Operating the transit system $737 million

That leaves over $1 BILLION dollars for all kinds of expenses not related to providing transit service-

-If TriMet raised the fares to $2.75 that would increase the fare budget by 10%-

-TriMet would yield somewhere between 10-20 million

which will have no significant impact on service

-basically they are trying to create a false panic

Where is all that other money going, the biggest part of the budget?
