Abstract:
Two Raleigh transit systems, Triangle Transit and Capital Area Transit (CAT), will increase fares between 2014 and 2015. The CAT buses in Raleigh fares would increase to $1.25 in 2014 and $1.50 by 2015. Likewise, the regional Triangle Transit routes increase from $2 to $2.25 and express routes from $2.50 to $3 in 2014. Higher fares are anticipated to affect low-income Raleigh residents, but transit authorities believe middle- and upper-class riders will make-up the difference.
