It's official the Detroit City Council had approved part of KING KWAME's proposal to add $0.50 for full fare with a senior and disabled picture ID and $0.10 for transfer. This proposal will add some revenues to this financially strap city. Post your viewpoints. |

It was on KING KWAME's budget proposal list since last year, Merchantgander. KING KWAME have to put it on hold due to slow start on his election year. |

No, KK wanted to raise fares for disabled folks to 75 cents and still allow seniors to ride for free.
The CC proposal, initiated by Transit Riders United, was a compromise that said lets charge 50 cents for disabled folks AND seniors. |
