There is no alternative for many who live out there. There would be a lot more ridership if fares didn't cost more than it does to drive, as was the case a couple of years ago. Between the recession and less expensive gas, there has been a significant hit to ridership and revenue, necessitating the latest fare hike. It isn't just commuters not riding, many people who use the system for short, spur-of-the-moment trips around town for things like shopping are using it less. There were plenty of people interviewed in the various local news media who said they had cut back on or abandoned Metro because of the cost.
