Four people show at citywide hearing on Metro fare hike

Seriously. (WP)

Part of the reason, according to one rider, is that the hearing was held at "a conference center in Reston, that was not easily accessible by bus or rail. The rider said she could not even find it on MapQuest."

Brilliant.

Metro is proposing to increase parking fees by $1.15 a day, and fares by 30-80 cents per ride.
