It all adds up after a while,” said Donna Evans, a senior history major from Princeton. Other students are concerned that fare-free busing will lead to an over loaded Chapel Hill transit system.

It will decrease the revenue for the Chapel Hill Transit Authority, so in turn, they will have to decrease the services they’re putting out.” He said the transit authority now brings in $600,000 in revenue from UNC students but that it will only get a revenue between $400,000 and $500,000 from student fees if the fare free transit referendum passes. Rathgeber said he thinks a more in depth study should precede a change in fares. “A consultant said going fare-free increases ridership by 50 percent,” he said. “But the Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee hasn’t made a rec ommendation on that. You can’t put it out there without a recommendation.” But Chapel Hill Town Council mem ber Kevin Foy said a similar proposal last year proved that the idea is not unman ageable. “Funding is, of course, always a advertising for Bounce, anew humor magazine dedicated to amusing and enriching the UNC community with satirical commentary on current events.

That will in turn benefit the community and lead to fewer cars on the road.” In response to concerns that fare-free busing might overwhelm the system, Matthews points to the transit authori ty’s ability to adjust to a heavier passen ger load after a few weeks’ observance, with more buses available for use. “The system can handle it,” he said. “If the point is to get people on the bus, then this is the way to do it because the parking crunch is only going to get worse.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. 8 p.m. - Come celebrate NAACP Founder’s Week!
