COLUMBIA — During Monday night's public transit work session, Columbia City Manager Mike Matthes shared possible changes to city bus services. Matthes' proposed city budget for fiscal year 2012 will increase all bus fares by 50 to 67 percent, eliminate half fares not required by federal law and reduce services by cutting shuttles to MU football games, eliminating evening routes Thursday through Saturday and shortening three bus routes.
