Transit fares increasing Sept. 1

There is no change to the Adult monthly pass rate.

“We continuously evaluate our ridership which helps to balance our fare structure,” said George Penny, Transit Manager. “As a result, some fares will go up while others go down, and some will stay exactly the same. This ensures that we are able to maintain or improve service levels and provide the best services possible to Red Deerians.”

– Adults (18 to 64 years) $2.50
– Youth (6 to 17 years) $2.25

Transit users can purchase MyRide cards that are reloadable with monthly passes, 12 ride cards or multiple months at a time to pay your transit fare.

The cards are available at Transit Customer Service in the Sorenson Station terminal downtown or at City Hall and can be reloaded at any of 10 reload stations in Red Deer, Blackfalds or Lacombe.

Transit riders are reminded to register their MyRide cards to protect the value held on the account in case a card is lost or stolen.
