In fact, Charlotte Transit isn’t paying their way at (i On Monday, a new, free, “Uptown Connection" express bus service was implemented for people living in the Randolph Road area. According to Nancy Durham, information and Ride Share manager for the Charlotte Dept. of Transportation, representatives of the uptown business community approached Charlotte Transit about providing additional express bus service so their employees could avoid the hassles of driving and parking. Uptown businesses are putting up $89,000 for the one-year experi ment. An additional amount in excess of $30,000 is coming from a state grant. ‘‘This will cover all operating expenses for a year,” Durham said In addition, she explained, al though the first four months of the demonstration project will be free to riders, Charlotte City Council specified that, by the end of the project, fares will be the same as for other express routes Durham said that the plan is to institute fares in 25 cent incre ments. She emphasized that this program is totally self-supporting "None of the money that normally goes to operate Charlotte Transit is going for this," she said. The free express service runs every 10 minutes from 7 to 8 a m and from 4:40 to 5:50 p m Eight buses are involved, with seven on the road and one to spare. Durham called the experiment ‘a great learning experience for us.” Among the things Charlotte Transit hopes to learn are the impact of fares on ridership, the impact of frequency of ser vice, and how well this type of service works for getting people around major construction projects. Commuter parking is available at Calvary Church and at several other park and ride lots along Randolph Road. On the first morning of the project, about 100 cars were left in the lot after the hubbub of opening ceremonies had died down, Durham said. It is only coincidence, she maintained, that most Charlotte Transit fares went up this month. Local fares are increasing from 60 cents to 70 cents. Express fares are going up to a dollar from 85 cents See FREE RIDE On Page I6A FIND DOOD MNAMM In The Charlotte Post SHAZADA Records & Tapes "Your Uptown Record Store” 332-7077 Top Chart LP 12" Disco, Rock. 45’s ( ountry.
