A public hearing will take place May 24 on a proposal to more than double some county transit fares over the next two years.
Under the plan, the price of the MTA’s popular monthly pass, now $52, would increase to $75 in July and $120 by Jan. 1, 2009. The price of the $3 day pass would hit $5 this summer and $8 within two years.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority must approve any fare increase. The hearing is set to begin at 9 a.m. at MTA headquarters, 1 Gateway Plaza, near Union Station in downtown L.A.
