It will cost you more to ride Oakville Transit buses, starting Friday, March 1.
If you pay by cash, get ready to throw an extra quarter into the farebox, as cash fares increase to $4.
Add 80 cents, instead of 75, to your total bill if you include the “GO co-fare” - the price to ride Oakville Transit to and from GO Transit buses and trains.
The cost of monthly passes increases in all categories. Adult passengers pay $129, instead of $125. Seniors pay $61.80, instead of $60. Youth pay $82.40, instead of $80.
Using your PRESTO costs more, too. Adults pay an extra ten cents, for a total of $3.10. Seniors need another six cents to pay $1.96. Youth have to shell out eight cents more so that the cost of the PRESTO fare for them is $2.38, starting March 1.
Just one fare remains the same for Oakville Transit passengers. The youth Freedom Pass stays at $20 per month. (The pass is valid for unlimited rides after 4 p.m. on Monday-to-Friday evenings, all day Saturdays and Sundays. During July and August, the monthly Youth Freedom Pass allows for unlimited rides, all day, all times, all week for the month.)
For Oakville Transit:
- Adult passengers are 20 to 64 years old.
- Senior passengers are 65 years or older.
- Youth passengers are six to 19 years old.
- Children are five years or younger. Children ride free if a fare-paying adult accompanies them aboard buses.
