[Headline] Hike on hold [Subheading] PUC stalls Trailways bid for higher fares; hearings set By MARK THOMAS Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer [Image] [Image caption] Beverly Furnice of Denver was one of several people and groups at a PUC hearing to protest a proposed rate increase hike by the Trailways Bus Co. ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS STAFF PHOTO BY JAY KOELZER 12/27/84 The Colorado Public Utilities Commission on Wednesday suspended a rate increase by Trailways Bus Co. that would have raised fares up to 321 percent starting Jan. 7, officials said. Dale Cunningham, a PUC spokesman, said the PUC has received more than 2,500 letters and petition signatures from Trailways customers opposing the increases. Cunningham said the commission will hold public state-wide hearings on the proposed increases. He said no dates have been set. Trailways filed for the increases Oct. 25, but the date they would've gone into effect was delayed to Jan. 7 because the company failed to post proper notices at its bus terminals, Cunningham said. Unless the PUC rules on the fare increases by Feb. 20 120 days after the Oct. 25 filing date — Trailways can ask the Interstate Commerce Commission to approve them, Cunningham said. Under the rate hikes asked by Trailways, fares on all the company's routes in the state would rise an average of 140 percent. For example, the Colorado -Springs-to-Denver fare would jump from $4.80 to $11, while the Denver-to-Pueblo fare would go from $7.80 to $20. The cost for the Denver-to-Glenwood Springs route would be hiked from $11.85 to $31. And a passenger would pay $40 for a trip from Denver to Grand Junction instead of the current $17.90. The largest increase would be levied for trips of less than 20 miles, which would go up from 98 cents to $4. - ADAPT (799-A)
