SUN TRAN FARE HIKE HEARING
If you ride the city bus and want to voice your opinions on proposed fare increases, tonight is your chance. The Tucson City Council holds a public hearing on Sun Tran's request. The hearing begins at 5:30 at council chambers, 255 W. Alameda, downtown.

Several fares and passes would be affected by the hikes, but the most talked about is the regular one-way fare, which is now $1.00. Sun Tran wants to raise that to $1.25
