Possible MBTA Fare Hikes To Be Discussed At Meeting

BOSTON (CBS) - MBTA fare hike proposals are expected to come up at a meeting of the MBTA and Mass. Department of Transportation boards Wednesday afternoon.

Transportation Sec. Richard Davey has already said that fare hikes for next year are likely.

But, cuts in service could also be discussed, as the "T" figures out how to pay for a projected $161 million budget deficit.

The meeting will take place at 1 p.m. at the state transportation building in the Theater District.
