FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Fresno city leaders have launched a new proposal that would eliminate city bus fares to encourage people to take public transportation to keep Valley air clean.
Fresno city councilmembers Tyler Maxwell, Esmeralda Soria, and Vice President Nelson Esparza held a press conference on Friday to introduce the Zero Fare Clean Air Act.
If passed, the act would eliminate the $1.25 fare passengers pay when boarding a bus. Experts say that eliminating fare payments can speed up bus travel times, since drivers don t need to wait for passengers to feed their money into the farebox.
Fresno councilman wants to make FAX bus free for everyone. How will the city pay for it?
