The city of Workney, in raising bus fares from $1  00 to $1  25, proposed that 18 fare tokens be sold for $20  00 to alleviate the extra burden of the fare increase on the city' s low-income residents  Critics suggested alternatively that 9 fare tokens be sold for $10  00, because a $20
00 outlay would be prohibitive for low-income riders
The outlay of $10. 00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for low-income bus riders.
