Fares on 18 bus lines to fall to 50 cents for a week
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
In an effort to increase ridership, Los Angeles County transit officials said Friday that they would slash fares on several bus lines for a week, beginning Feb. 18.
Bus riders will pay just 50 cents to ride any one of 18 bus lines in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, South Bay and the Westside. The standard fare is $1.25 each way.
Officials hope the promotional fare will encourage motorists to try public transit. For more information, go to www.metro.net.
