		<description><![CDATA[AC Transit hosts a public hearing tomorrow for riders to weigh in raising bus fares and adopting standards to govern all fare decisions for years to come. Among the stickiest issue is whether to raise the youth pass from $15 to $20 a month in August, and later increase it to $45 a month over eight years.

Boards for both County Connection bus system in Contra Costa County and the Wheels bus system in the Livermore Amador Valley area have voted to boost their basic fare from $1.75 to $2, starting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BART might steer its train cars into new money-making territory: turning the cars into moving billboards to help bail the transit system out of a budget jam. We can hear the outcry. Don&#8217;t tarnish the sleek silver and blue cars, a well-known symbol of BART, with tacky advertising. Don&#8217;t let advertising invade one more place in our cluttered landscape. Those arguments will be one part of the debate whether BART should proceed [...]]]></description>
