City Bus Fares

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Wed Mar 26, 2003 8:58 am

I'm just curious, how much do you have to pay for a ride/pass?

Here in the Dallas County area:

Local Single Ride: $1.25 (double that amount for a local day pass)
Premium Single Ride: $2.25 (double that amount for a premium day pass)
Reduced Fare: $.50 (double that amount for a reduced day pass)
Paratransit-Demand Response Van/Sedan Service: $2.50
Monthly Local Pass: $40.00
Monthly Premium Pass: $70.00 :o
Reduced Monthly Pass: $15.00 8)

I didn't vote because I don't even know what it cost to ride a bus here in the New Orleans area. Haven't ridden a bus since I was a child. Sorry!

I've never rode a bus in the city of Davenport either, actually, I don't think I have ever been on a city bus!

Compared to what a car note, gas & insurance would cost you I don't think the prices are bad at all.

sorry, haven't ridden the bus here in Green Bay

But I did ride MCTS (Milwaukee County Transit System) and rode for free because I attended UW-Milwaukee (UWM stress NOT to bring cars, but we did anyways!) I didn't like it, but there was times I said "screw it" because I didn't wan to move my car.

I'm lucky that students like me get a reduced fare/pass.
