On November 12, the CTA Board is planning to pass the 2010 budget. The CTA is threatening to raise one-way fares to $3, a 33 percent increase. The 30-day pass would now cost $110, a 28 percent increase. Free rides for seniors are being threatened. The U-pass would go up over 20 percent. Drastic cuts in train and bus service are being proposed. 1,100 jobs are on the chopping block.

Join us on the street for a protest before the CTA board meeting. Bring your signs and voices of protest. Working people shouldn’t have to pay more for transit, especially during the worst economic crisis in generations! The money exists to stop the attacks on transit. Together, we can stop the rate hikes, cuts & layoffs!

No fare hikes! No service cuts! No layoffs!
Money for Transit, Jobs, Health Care, Housing & Education, Not Bank Bailouts & Endless War!
