say? >> stay open 24/7 like chicago and new york. >> reporter: on the rail side, rush hour fares would go up 10 cents, off peak fares up 25 cents. on the bus regular and express fares up 25 cents. parking would increase up to 10 cents. with those service cuts, every line except the palestiblue lin see an increase in rush hour wait times. metro still has more safe track work coming and plans to shut down earlier even more for maintenance. leaders know this one could be tough. >> we heard you talking with the gentleman about the service in other cities. how about the fares in other cities? how do they compare with what

>> reporter: so we're talking about raising fares again on metro. take a look at this chart that we were able to find that compares us to other transit systems around the country. metro down at the bottom of that list, only ahead of san francisco's bart system. when you take a look over to the right the max fares, metro is up around $6 for the max fare. you're talking about potentially another 10 or 25 cents on the rail side of things. that certainly jacks things up, doesn't help metro riders at all who are looking to save money. now, this is a potential way to not raise fares but that includes jurisdictions kicking in some extra money. any changes won't take effect until july. >> we're already paying some of the highest fares. a guilty plea today from a former school aide in prince george's county who was accused of sexually abusing students and then recording it on camera.

many other parents of victims were inside the courtroom this morning and listened as prosecutors described a club carroway started to prey on children. investigators say he told the young victims that if they wanted to join, they had to send him sexually explicit photos of themselves through various social media apps. that's why the u.s. attorney is urging parents to stay engaged. >> it's critical that you know what your child is doing online and make them scroll through their phone with you, let them know you're going to keep track of it, make sure you have passwords to their social media accounts. we continue to follow the backlash over the president's travel ban. tonight some personal stories from dulles international airport amid the protests over donald trump's executive order. we get a rare look inside the russian embassy in d.c. as the ambassador talks about the election and his hope for the future. and the search for that bobcat that escaped from the national zoo.
