Numerous community members utilize the MBTA services each and everyday to be able to get to places they need and want to be. Now since the MBTA will be increasing their fares by 23%, this could possibly take a large impact among the numerous community members who uses the MBTA services everyday such as:

Adult / Working class : - Have trouble affording the new fare raise - Safety concerns coming home at night without bus / trains (assuming they cannot afford the cost) - Must find other methods of travel that perhaps would not be as convenient to them (assuming they cannot afford the cost)

Elderly citizens : - Have no way of traveling around and getting to places as they may not be able to drive to - Safety concerns coming home at night without bus / trains (assuming they cannot afford the cost)

Students : - Not being able to utilize the MBTA services would be a massive inconvienience to students going to and coming back from school - Would have a more difficult time traveling around the general Boston area without the aid of the MBTA services - May have to get jobs in order to pay for the raised bus fares (assuming that they can't afford the cost) - Students may have to wake up at earlier hours to be able to walk to and from school (assuming that they can't afford the cost and have no other means to get to school besides walking) - Students' safety if they have to walk to and from school every day through harsh weather (this also affects their health) - Students' health is also at risk if they have to wake at earlier times than they already do and if they have to walk in harsh weather. - Some students may arrive late to school every day if they walk or not go to school at all because they can't find an alternative from taking the bus. - Being late to school everyday will cause the student to miss a portion of their education and eventually falling behind all other students within their class - If students are late 4 times to a class that would count as an absent, and since 3 absence means you fail that would possibly cause some students to fail due to the fact that may could be late
