The report evaluates certain effects of a July 1980 fare increase on Mercer Metro ridership. The evaluation addresses aggregate ridership change as well as effects on individual transit user groups. The ability to draw definitive conclusions about the influence of the fare hike was also inhibited by the influence of a gasoline crisis and high gasoline prices around the time of the fare increase. It appears, however, that the presence of high gas prices did not fully offset ridership losses brought on by the fare increase.
