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.

Jan. 2 The new year in Fresno brings with it a couple of elected officials who will take office, including one very familiar face and one new one.
Fresno’s longtime Police Chief Jerry Dyer officially takes over the mayor’s office on Jan. 5, as Fresno City Council newcomer Tyler Maxwell also becomes District 4’s representative.
The swearing-in ceremonies are planned for Jan. 7, the first City Council meeting of 2021.
Both won their races outright in March and have waited for the new year to assume the positions. The vote counts were settled about the same time the coronavirus pandemic was closing down major events, and days before the city would see its first stay-at-home order.
