I had missed this part:
"Along with the main focuses, the plan also aims to change fare pricing. Officials are proposing cheaper fares for people in need and free fares for kids under 12 riding with a fare-paying customer."
It would be long-past due. Charging children as young as 5 the adult fare, as we currently do, sends the message that transit here is not for families. Getting children on transit and showing them that it is a viable alternative is something we should be willing to spend on.
