    On June 1, 2012, City Council will raise bus fares by 20 cents, on top of the 5-cent increase on January 1. They say they'll use the money to build Bus Rapid Transit infrastructure to the University of Manitoba. It's unfair to charge transit users, many of whom will never use the rapid transit line, an extra fee to pay for expanding infrastructure.

    On June 1, 2012, City Council will raise bus fares by 20 cents, on top of the 5-cent increase on January 1.

    A bus fare increase will only add to the financial burden for seniors, students and others living on a low income. They say theyll use the money to build Bus Rapid Transit infrastructure to the University of Manitoba. Because good public transit benefits everyone: Its unfair to charge transit users, many of whom will never use the rapid transit line, an extra fee to pay for building infrastructure. No other city makes its transit users pay the cost of expanding infrastructure. Councillors Harvey Smith and Ross Eadie will introduce a motion to roll back the fare increase at City Council on February 22nd.
