0 Has T & F Transportation (Town Taxi) provided adequate service?
To my knowledge Town Taxi is providing the service adequately. There
havs been no major complaints during the year. Town Taxi has been the
provider since the service started.
0 Should the ticket price be raised for the upcoming year?
I am reco~~ending not raising the ticket price for 1991. Thi.s year if
approved, the price per ride has decreased from $1.99 to $1.74.
0 Should the ticket price be lowered for the upcoming year?
For the first time in many ye~rs the price per ride has decreased.
The lovering of the cost per ride does provide an opportunity to lower
the ticket pries to the riders. However, because of the tight budget
. for the upcoming year, it becomee very difficult to lower the ticket
pricee With the lower cost per ride, it will allow the City to use
less of the general fund for the Hop-A-Ride service. The City's share
for the service has been increasing because of the increase in costs.
These increasing co~ts have not been passed on proportionately to the
rldera. Because of the decrease in cost per ride the Cityts share
will decrease.
