Fare increase on the way for bus, trolley riders after SANDAG vote<\/a><\/p>\n

By Andi Ruiz\u00a0| Times of San Diego<\/p>\n

A\u00a0San Diego Association of Governments<\/a>\u00a0committee voted Friday to increase fares to ride buses and trolleys managed by the\u00a0Metropolitan Transit System<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0North County Transit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fare increases would begin Oct. 1, with the cost of a standard one-way trip on MTS rising from $2.50 to $3. A monthly pass will cost $85, up from $72.<\/p>\n

There will be little relief for riders already struggling with San Diego\u2019s high cost of living as the\u00a0plan<\/a>\u00a0includes a second fare increase within a year, on Oct. 1, 2027.<\/p>\n

by\u00a0Nadia Lathan | Voice of San Diego<\/p>\n

Jose Preciado is more upbeat than usual these days.<\/p>\n

One year\u00a0after being appointed<\/a>\u00a0to California\u2019s powerful coastal commission, the Chula Vista city councilmember says he\u2019s found optimism in peculiar places.<\/p>\n

Technical presentations on zoning laws. A meticulous review process assessing whether plans, often to build more housing, abide by the California Coastal Act that requires development along the state\u2019s coast to meet a bevy of rules to protect its natural beauty. Hourlong debates.<\/p>\n

\u2018Love always wins\u2019: SD Pride shines on in an uncertain political environment<\/a><\/p>\n

by\u00a0Times of San Diego Staff Reports<\/p>\n

This year, the theme for the\u00a0San Diego Pride<\/a>\u00a0parade and festival \u2014 \u201cPride Shines On\u201d \u2014 resonated more than it has in recent memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can\u2019t avoid the injustices that are going on, particularly under this administration, and what it\u2019s doing to our community,\u201d said Geneva Lake, a member of the event\u2019s board of directors. \u201cWe just don\u2019t feel safe. So it makes these types of environments that much more important to us, a safe place, and we can all come and be ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the face of a hostile political environment Lake still asserted, \u201cLove always wins,\u201d and continues to work alongside new executive director\u00a0KishaLynn Elliott<\/a>\u00a0and their colleagues.<\/p>\n
