	Commuters to UCLA may see increase in Big Blue Bus fares - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		UCLA commuters are concerned that if the Big Blue Bus transit program raises fares by 50 percent, as has been recommended, it will empty their pockets and possibly the pockets of the BruinGo!
		In response to proposals by the Big Blue Bus company, the Santa Monica City Council approved a public hearing on May 14 for the adoption of a fare increase in bus from 50 cents to 75 cents per ride — the first increase since 1983.
		As an alternative to raising fares, the Big Blue Bus company considered eliminating free transfers to avoid a fare hike, but decided not to because it would force the 16 percent of transfer passengers to pay an additional fare at each boarding.
