If you really believe that the city was acting in bad faith, that the disired fare increase was normal and that Rosy was in good health to coninue on, PLEASE provide evidence. From all that I've seen, transit companies including Rosy were going downhill and the city saw the writing on the wall.

In addition, you claim that "Trimet gets under 20% of its revenue from users. If users had to pay their real cost that $1.95 all zone ticket would cost $9.75" What about all of the monthly pass, discounted fare, Fareless Square, etc. use that greatly lowers the avg. revenue/ride? How do you know that $1.95 really represents 20% of the revenue?
