Broward County Commissioners will conduct a public hearing on a proposed bus fare increase on Tuesday, August 14, 2 p.m., Room 422, Broward County Governmental Center, 115 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale.
If approved by the County Commission, the new fares would become effective October 1, 2007. Additional increases would occur in October of 2008 and 2009. Broward County has not increased bus fares since 1995.
Proposed increases include: regular on-way fare, $1 to $1.25; youth fare, $.50 to $.60; senior/disabled/Medicare fare, $.50 to $.60; all day pass, $2.50 to $3; all day pass (senior/disabled/Medicare/youth), $1.25 to $2; 31-day adult pass, $32 to $40; 31-day senior/disabled/Medicare/youth), $16 to $20; and, seven-day bus pass, $9 to $11.
The ten-ride bus pass would be discontinued and a new 31-day college student bus pass would be implemented for $20. In addition, the Commission will be seeking public comment on selling reduced fares to agencies certified by the County's Human Services Department to provide bus fares to homeless individuals.
