Sports TwitterOSU park-and-ride may get more expensive
Friday, July 25, 2008
COLUMBUS — Game days could be more expensive this fall for carloads of Ohio State football fans who park and ride from the state fairgrounds.
Transit officials in Columbus are considering a proposal that would cut the cost of the parking part in half, from $10 down to $5. However, the round-trip bus ticket from the lot to the game would rise to $4, from as little as a buck last season.
The new park-and-ride pricing means one person going alone to a Buckeyes game would pay $9, down from $11 last year. But four people in a van would pay $21, compared to $14.
The head of the transit agency says there's no opposition to the plan among the board members who must vote to approve it.
