Nickel Hike In Cost of Riding Buses
The Regional Transit Authority raises bus fares five cents per ride in Cedar Rouds starting April 7. Adult fare goes to 30 cents, children 5 to 11 to 15 cents, students 12 through high school with ID to 25 cents, ten-ticket student rate to $2. The five-cent transfers remain. The increase, voted unanimously, follows a new two-year union contract increasing wages. RTC president Bagley and RTA officials cite ridership revenue gains and costs, with plans for route studies and possible city ownership study.
