All the prices are going up, not just the one-ride price. Monthly bus passes would be up to $64. And the low-income price, essentially unaffordable.
Here’s the prices that are being considered for all the fares. Personally, I think that the unlimited bus passes need a bigger increase. Board of Estimates will be discussing this tonight.
