JUN 1 O 1982
Fare Study -March, 1982 11/1~~~
The mass transit industry has been mandated by the current economic
conditions to re-evaluate all aspects of transit operations. The most
important consideration in this evaluation process is the possible
reductions in Federal Operating Assistance. The components of service
reductions and revenue increases must be balanced to maintain the best
transportation service possible.
The Reagan Program for Economic Recovery published in February, 1981
proposes a 33% reduction in the UMTA budget in FY 1983. This proposed
legislation is the catalyst for this report. This proposal can be
affected by several variables. One variable is if Congress will
actually approve a 33\ cut. Indications are that the cut will not be
this severe. Another variable is that the cuts might be in other
areas of UMTA's budget, and the operating assistance formulas would be
affected to a lesser degree. The staff is also working under the
assumption that the local share of the total budget will remain intact.
The Citibus.system was implemented in 1976 and the adult fare was 40¢,
then an increase of 25% to 50¢ was established in September, 1980.
At the time of the 1980 increase the new GMC coaches were introduced
and no service reductions were implemented. These past fare increases
have not kept pace with rate of inflation, the price of a gallon of
gas, or the operating expenses of transit. Now it is critical for
Citibus to recover more of its expenses from the farebox and not from
government subsidy.
We need to first look at revenue increases and its impact on the
operating defi_cit. Revenue for the system comes. from several sources:
the farebox, the Texas Tech Contract, the charter profit, and miscellan-
eous contributions. The farebox revenue is the component that can be
most easily manipulated through the use of fare increases. A fare
increase should work two-fold. It should first lessen the operating
deficit and secondly, it should cover a higher percentage of the
operating expenses.
The fare structure that the Transit Board is recommending follows:
v 75¢ Regular Adult Fare
50¢ Student Fare (Children under 12)
35¢ Elderly and Handicapped Fare
40¢ Prepaid Tickets
$6. 00 and $12. 00 Econocards (10 and 20 rides)
$9.00 Student Econocard (20 rides)
No transfer fee
ITEM 1,
L V
studies show that, in general, every time fares are increased, riders
are lost. Based upon an ATE study of the Citibus system a 12\ drop
in ridership is estimated to accompany a SO\ increase in fares.. This
is assuming no change in ~ervice. These ridership and revenue estimates
reflect the drops in ridership due to the fare change and service
changes.

Of course, the increase to 75¢ shows the greatest change in revenue.
The 75¢ fare will help recover operating expenses of Citibus at a
much greater level. The transit board has set a goal for the revenue
to cover 40\ of the expenses. Currently, 33\ of Citibus expenses are
covered by revenue, which is average for a system this size. But,
Citibus relies on the federal subsidy to cover 40\ of its expenses,
which is above average.
