Happy New Year, now pay up
If you did the responsible thing and stayed over instead of trying to make it back to the burbs on dangerous highways following a New Year's Eve party, your bleary-eyed bus or train trip back home for a shower and some Alka-Seltzer came at a higer cost if you lived in these places:
- Chicago, where CTA fares rose from $1.75 to $2.00
- California, where BART and CalTrain riders will cough up some more change.
- Denver, where the RTD's base fare rose $0.25. I love the super-frowny photo of the fratty guy at the bus stop - it's how you know he's sad.
- England, where Virgin Trains bumped prices for 2006.
- Adult riders in Portland, Oregon, will probably not cry in their microbrews over a 15-cent price hike.
- Wilmington, NC has more sad bus-riders.
But in Uganda, where upcountry bus fairs nearly tripled during the holiday season, prices have declined of late.

Don't forget TFL (London), who on January 1st hiked their single-ride tube fares from the already high £2.20 to £3.00 while simultaneously in the midst of a 24-hour strike. They also did away entirely with the single-zone weekly travel card for people who only commute within a single zone, forcing them to buy more expensive multiple-zone cards.
