Rid in to work on mass transit could be less expensive. Bob redell this morning. Discounts for people who have to use more than one Transit System . Reporter correct, laura. Lets say you hop on b. A. R. T. In walnut creek and head in and have to transfer to a local bus or ferry, youre not going to always get that discount or transfer credit. So the clipper executive board oversee the clipper card we sue for fares on our transit agencies. They want to change that. At a meeting yesterday the board authorized a study, a 600,000 study, to figure out how to integrate the fares of all 27 bay area transit agencies. Right now each agency operates and sets fares independently of each other and they dontlways offer discounts or transfers for commuters who use two or more for their ride in to work. The agencies do not recognize its getting expensive for people who travel long distances throughout the region. For some of them, ridership is flat or down. They might be in their best interest to offer discounts in order to entice more riders. The examiner points out the fare integration exists in other parts in the north bay in which trips are extended for riders who transfer between golden gate transit and local buses. The executive board will take 12 to 14 months. Thats 600,000 that will come from leftover residual funds from regional measure two.
