Transit fares are going up.

The majority of executive committee approved increasing the transit fares from $2.25 for adults to $2.50 for adults at Monday’s meeting. The fare increases also increased student rates from $1.75 to $2 and increased senior rates from $1.75 to $2. Monthly rates, tickets and day passes are also going up.

“We haven’t had an increase in a while,” said Coun. Patrick Boyle. “It’s one of those necessary evils that we have to do.”
