I don't think the
fare hikes are insane, but the increase on transfer fares is annoying. Basically transfers should be free, though lacking any kind of modern fare collection system I get why they aren't. They're hiking the transfer fees because they want to encourage people to buy monthly passes, but you know what would also encourage people to buy monthly passes... lower prices! The city zone only pass is overpriced. If they cut the price by 35% and heavily marketed it (and, of course, made it easier to buy one...) they might get good results! Or I might be wrong, in which case they can raise the price again...
