METRO: HAVE YOU EXPLORED CUTTING UNNECESSARY COSTS INSTEAD OF RAISING FARES?

Dear Metro:

Did you read about the kid that found a way for the U.S. Government to save $400 million a year simply by switching to the Garamond font?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2591875/Key-stroke-genius-student-14-simple-way-save-government-300m-year.html  (I think in the link address there, where it says 300 million, that is pounds or Euros, this is a Daily Mail link)

Well, Metro, you print a lot of stuff with red and blue ink.  And you print a lot of bus schedules, and you wouldn't need as many if you posted them on every stop.

As I said here: http://optinstl.blogspot.com/2014/03/what-should-be-metros-new-bus-stop-plan.html

Those red and blue inks could be done in Black and White, with a little note saying "Metro is saving you money and becoming more environmentally friendly by using only black ink."
