I do not think they are going to go with the idea of multiple prices based on numbers of trips either. I would be very surprised if they went for that system, especially since it will take a lot more burden for the passengers using the system.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr">Sent from Maryann Migliorelli's iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 29, 2025, at 3:31\u202fPM, Tim Keenan via Colorado-Talk <colorado-talk@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }
