Brothers and sisters with disabilities in the far north are speaking out against recent increases in paratransit fares and the inferior quality of services made available by Paratransit Inc.A quick review of paratransit fares across America reveals:
- Anchorage, AK $3
- Seattle, WA (King County) $.75
- Las Vegas, NV $1.50 $2 Peak $4 Strip Zone
- Greenville, NC $1.50
- Dallas, TX $2.50
- Lawton, OK $2
- San Francisco, CA $1.65
- New York, NY $2 (Same as mass transit)
- Atlanta, GA $3.50
You get the picture, Anchorage paratransit fares rank amongst the highest in the nation. I hope that Anchorage Municipal Assembly members are watching polls and realizing that screwing the poor and disabled is not as popular in America as they think.
