Flat Ten Cent Fare Charged On Conn.Gov Buses
A fixed ten cent cash fare was set for Connecticut company buses operating between Devon and New Haven starting today. Tokens, transfers, or future credits will not be accepted. Public Utilities Commission Chair Richard Higginson said the ten cent fare, issued under a commission ruling, is justified by bus operating costs and the lack of a statewide fare standard. Milford and Devon residents face the impact as travel costs rise one way to forty cents more from Devon to New Haven and thirty to forty cents from Milford to New Haven. The company indicated no immediate plans for further fare changes until service resumes after road conditions improve.
