Used to catch the bus to the games all the tim. At the time, it cost nothing. You just had to show your game ticket.
I'm sure Metro has a lot more to do with this than UWAD. -

Or, they still subsidize the same amount and Metro has jacked up its prices. Their operating costs have gone up I'm sure.DerekJohnson said:

Masks. Mandates. Higher Bus Rates. A shitty product. Violent drug addicts scattered through the city. What could go wrong?

Actually, @Logistics needs to chime in on this. -
There is a lot of speculation here with very legitimate possibilities. I would love to find out definitively if anyone wants to up their lifelessness cred.

Imagine viewing the $30/$40 per game cost of parking on campus as being the cheaper option
Who really wants to pay for a $15 round trip on a packed feces smelling bus in THIS COVID environment -
I suspected that was a big part of it. Their OT pay plus all the operating costs which have increased rapidly over a short period of time are contributing to this.Tequilla said:

Bus fare is like 2.75? Seems like total price gouging

The busses are the only thing keeping me away. Hard for jimmy to pack the stands when everything is against him.

Does UW even want poor people there?

Yes! Based on the $6 tickets they are offering...Canadawg said:Does UW even want poor people there?

When you're about to get on the bus and see this guy as the driver, you have second thoughts.DerekJohnson said:

Fuel prices have nearly doubled in 2 years.
Busses run on gas.
The math is not hard. -
This isn't surprising at all ~ when bus fare is as much as 1/2 of what you pay for the ticket of course that is going to slow down ticket sales
