New transit fares effective Oct. 1
Fares for all regional buses and trains increased on Oct. 1.
The fare increase will help reduce a projected $15 million budget shortfall for 2009 due to the cost of fuel and lower than expected revenue from motor vehicle sales taxes – a major source of transit funding.
