  Fare Increase
  Effective September 1

In an effort to close the gap on a $9 million budget deficit for Fiscal Year 2010, RT will implement fare changes effective Tuesday, September 1, 2009.

RT will increase the Basic single fare to $2.50 (from $2.25) and increase the Discount single fare to $1.25 (from $1.10); and discontinue the Central City fares, Shuttle fares and transfers, which will require passengers to pay the Basic or Discount fare for each trip. There was no increase to the cost of the daily pass and monthly pass, which allow unlimited use on buses and light rail.

RT will discontinue the Lifetime Pass, which allows free fare for passengers age 75 and over; however, passengers who currently possess a Lifetime Pass will be allowed to continue to use the pass beyond September 1 and all other seniors will be required to pay the Discount fare.

Effective September 1, 2009, Central City/Shuttle fares have been discontinued and transfers will no longer be issued. Bus: Passengers are required to pay a Basic or Discount single fare for each trip or may purchase a daily pass valid for unlimited rides on that day. Light Rail: Single ride tickets are good for two hours from time of validation on light rail only. Daily and monthly passes are valid for unlimited rides on buses and light rail for the date(s) or month shown.
