Some changes to Winnipeg Transit roll in on Jan. 1, 2021.
Starting in the new year, children are now able to ride the bus for free if they’re riding with a fare-paying customer.
This applies for children ages 11 and under, while previously only children ages five and under were able to ride for free.
Also starting Friday, one-time fares are up by five cents and monthly passes have increased from about one to two dollars depending on the pass.
Full fare for an adult or post-secondary student is now $3.05 while it’s $2.55 for a youth or senior.
Full fare for a monthly pass was $102.05 per month but now moves to $104.00.
For youth passes, the fare rises to $73.65 and $52.00 for seniors.
