  14. Fare Changes Scenarios Other Options: Eliminate Transfers: 307,000 transfers are sold for $.05 annually. If this were eliminated, an additional $245,600 would be generated annually. 2. Eliminate FREE Fare for Elderly and Handicapped during off peak times. There were 620,221 passengers that rode for free in FY 08. This could generate $155,055 at a $.35 fare.

  15. Service ChangesScenarios • Eliminate Sunday bus service: This option will save the system $2,112,887 annually. • Reduce Sunday bus service by 40 hours each week. This will save the system $145,288 annually. This option shortens the hours of operation by two hours per route. • Close on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year: This option will save the system $121,897 annually. This will effect an estimated 7,000 passengers annually.
