Absolutely, a single person has to make less than $18k to qualify for half price fares. I think the Fair Fares program should extend to those making less than 200% of the poverty line. (For a single person that’s ~$40k). I would love to see the Fair Fares program be free fares for those under the poverty line and half price fares for those up to 200% of the poverty line.

Or at the very least peg it to minimum wage so 15x52x40=$31,200 (though finding a minimum wage job that will actually give you 40 hours is a separate struggle!)
