The cost of a monthly transit pass could jump by $15 if city council endorses a proposed new transit fare policy.6 [- Z$ |0 W0 A, l

It would end the random system of fare increases being approved each year by city council. Council in December voted to raise the adult ticket by 25 cents, but left the $59 monthly adult pass untouched.

: H: m3 h$ g/ F0 j6 w- U& zIt’s proposed that the adult monthly pass would cost 55 per cent of the cost of a cash fare, assuming an average transit rider takes 54 trips a month. That works out to $74, about the same price as a monthly pass in St. Albert, Strathcona County and Calgary.

The new system of all fares being based on the basic fare would help to correct that, she said.
