LRT single-fare cap holds at $3.50 through 2027

Grand River Transit's budget freezes the single fare for a third year, paid for by a parking levy that passed without debate.

The single fare stays at $3.50 through 2027 under the transit budget approved Wednesday, the third consecutive freeze.

The freeze is financed by the downtown parking levy, which passed in the same meeting without a single delegation — a sentence nobody at regional headquarters expected to write.

Monthly passes rise two dollars.
