VTA: Kids Shouldn't Pay!
Stop charging young children to ride VTA when with a paid adult.
Why is this important?
When I recently moved to San Jose, I wanted to do what's best for the environment, and my wallet, by using public transportation whenever possible. My first trip to the grocery store on VTA left me shocked when I discovered that a single mom with 2 young children ends up paying $16 per day to take VTA! We're calling on VTA to encourage the use of public transportation by allowing children too young to ride alone (under 12) to ride free with a paid adult.
