DESCRIPTION:STOP THE AC TRANSIT FARE HIKE!\n\nOn May 21st AC Transit’s Board will 
 hold a hearing on the proposed fare hike. \nYouth, Seniors and the Disabled 
 will be hardest hit by increase.   \n\nJoin community, labor and faith 
 leaders, residents, and bus riders to demand that AC Transit STOP ITS FARE 
 HIKES and STOP ITS SERVICE CUTS.\n\nRally and Press Conference \nMay 21st 
 3pm\nOakland City Hall\nStay to testify at hearing at 4pm\n\nAnd, register 
 your concern by calling AC Transit at (510) 891-7293\n\nWhat could the fare 
 increase look like?\nThe staff-recommended proposal would 
 increase:\n•	The Youth fare by 15 cents to $1/ride and the monthly pass 
 from $15 to $28 per month\n•	The Senior/Disabled fare by 15 cents to $1 a 
 ride and the monthly pass from $20 to $28 a month\n•	The adult fare by 25 
 cents to $2 a ride, and the monthly pass from $70 to $80 a month \n\nWhat 
 should AC Transit do instead?\n•	AC Transit should use its reserve cash 
 to cover this year’s budget gap.\n•	Next year, AC Transit should work 
 with city, county and state governments to find a permanent solution to its 
 budget woes.\n•	AC Transit should no longer have second-class status to 
 BART and the automobile.  AC Transit should not have to cut service or 
 raise fares to stay afloat.\n\n\nFor more information or other ways to get

 Imai 510-844-1191 or \nBob Allen 510-839-3716 \n
