Short Answer: What impact does Capitol Metro's decision to raise fares by $.50 in January potentially have on the people of Austin?
The Capitol Metro's raie in bus fairs could affect the people of Austin because less people could be able to ride the bus and afford it. They might not have enough money to ride the bus frequently and pay the money.
Think logically here and think outside the box. Who does this impact the most and what will happen to their lives? This mostly impacts the poorer people in Austin and the people who don't have cars, because if they have to spend more money on bus fares, it adds up in the future and they may not be able to pay for something important, like bills and food. In some cases every cent counts, and they don't need to spend extra money on just trying to go where they need to.
