Metro plans to delay making changes to its SmartBenefits program for a year and to eliminate one disliked element, after causing a kerfuffle when it announced modifications last month to the popular fare benefit program.
General Manager John Catoe announced the delay Wednesday night at a public forum in response to an audience question. He also said commuters could continue to carry over unused fares from month to month as they do now. That’s a big change for workers, who howled when the agency proposed giving those unused fares back to employers.
