@Alex B.:

A 20 cent POP fare hike, opposed to, say, a 10 cent across the board fare hike? Or a 15 cent hike on all peak fares?

I don't know the breakdown in percent of fares paid during the POP time, but nothing would possibly make the alternative a 'significant' fare hike for all riders.

So is a 10, 15 or 20 cent fare hike significant or not? Either it isn't, in which case the POP surcharge is meaningless, or it is, and that would represent a significant hike in either POP or off-peak.

But I meant to say that it avoided an even larger off-peak hike, which is what it did, and which is what we're seeing now.
