The prices on everything is going up people. We are not living in the old days were you could buy a movie ticket for a dime. I wish someone could do something about the rising cost of energy and gas.

What I want to know is why is city council the one raising bus fares, if El Metro bus company is a "PRIVATE COMPANY". Shouldn't El Metro be the one making the choice on how to run thier company, or is there something we need to look into.
