Adult bus fares increase Sunday, Feb. 1

Bus fares for adults will increase by 25 cents starting Sunday, Feb 1.

A two-zone trip taken during peak-commute times will cost $2.50, a one-zone trip $2.00, and the off-peak fare will be $1.75.

New monthly passes will reflect the increase in adult fares. There is also a fare increase for Access transportation customers. Youth and senior/disabled fares will not change.

This fare increase is one of several measures being undertaken by Metro to help maintain its existing system. A weak economy, record fuel prices in mid-2008 and falling sales tax revenues have resulted in a significant budget shortfall for the agency. These factors have also forced Metro to cut costs.
