Bus Fares To Increase By Fall

(WCCO) The cost to hop aboard a bus could cost you an extra quarter this fall.

Wednesday night the Met Council voted to move ahead with plans to hike prices later this year.         

Metro Transit is enjoying its highest number of riders in nearly 25 years, but the group said high gas prices are hurting its bottom line.          

Car sales are down, so it's also missing out on the sales tax set aside for mass transit.

Fares would go up on buses and trains this October. It would be Metro Transit's first price increase in three years.
