FIXED FARE CHANGE PROPOSALS
The Metropolitan Council is proposing changes to fares and is seeking public feedback. These updates would affect the regional fixed-route fare system.
• Express (fixed) rides all-times: $3.00
• Express (fixed) 31-day pass: $96.00 per month
• $1.00 reduced express (fixed) fare (applies to seniors 65+, TAP customers, Medicare card holders, youth, and limited mobility)
• Youth pricing extended to age 18 – Currently, youth ages 6-12 are eligible for reduced fares. If these proposed changes are adopted, those ages 6-18 would pay $1 on all local/METRO lines and express (fixed) buses. This change would lower costs for youth who do not have access to a transit pass through their school.
If approved by council – changes to fixed route fares will apply to all regional transit providers.
Comments are able to be submitted through Tuesday, May 26. Your voice matters – submit your feedback below!
Note: the proposed changes will not impact Connect fare
