<TITLE>YOLOBUS Fare Changes, Effective September 1, 2005</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">RT's fares go up, effective September 1, 2005. The basic RT regular monthly pass goes up from $60 to $80. There is also a $20 surcharge for a YOLOBUS express sticker, as currently exists.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For seniors and disabled riders, the RT senior/disabled monthly sticker goes up from $30 to $40, while the student monthly sticker goes up from $15 to $24. Seniors and disabled riders don’t need to buy the $20 YOLOBUS express bus sticker, but students ages 5-18 do.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The regular daily pass also goes from $3.50 to $4.50, while the discount daily pass for seniors and the disabled goes up from $1.75 to $2.25. All of the above increases were established by RT. Because we honor RT monthly and daily passes on YOLOBUS, our riders must pay the same price for these passes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On the other hand, if you buy a regular RT monthly pass (valued at $80 in September) but<U><B> ride YOLOBUS</B></U><B></B> only, there is an alternative. We are introducing a<U></U><U><B> $60 YOLOBUS-only monthly pass</B></U><B></B>. It is NOT valid on Regional Transit. If you ride a YOLOBUS express bus, you will also need to pay the extra $20 for the express sticker--the same as before. </FONT></P>
