After 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, May 4 -- the moment at which fares will rise, with the price of a single trip jumping to $2 from $1.50 -- any token plinked into a turnstile will be spit back out. Bus fareboxes will still accept the token -- along with 50 cents cash, thank you -- through the end of the year.</p><p><span style="color: Red">edited - copyright</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: BLUE"> That was a fair use segment of the full article, not the full article...</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
