The Acmeville Metropolitan Bus Service currently charges $0.88 for an all-day ticket, and is used by an average of 433 riders a day. The bus company is not earning a profit, but according to their contract with the city, they cannot cut the number of buses on the road. They must therefore find a way to increase revenues. The bus company is considering increasing the ticket price to $0.99. The marketing department\'s studies indicate this price increase would reduce usage to 169 riders per day.
