Riders will soon have to pay a little more to take Grand River Transit.
The transportation operator is raising its fares starting July 1.
Cash payments and single tickets from fare vending machines will increase from $3.75 to $4. Children under the age of six can still travel for free.
Monthly passes are also going up from $96 to $104. The U-Pass, for college and university students, will also increase from $118.97 to $124.91. A College Pass, which covers a four-month term, will go from $312 to $325.
Grand River Transit is also raising the cost of a summer pass from $163.20 to $176. It is valid for trips between July 1 to Aug. 31.
The price of MobilityPLUS tickets, however, will not change.
A few things will see a slight decrease, including fares and passes for the Affordable Transit Program.
The cost of day passes and group passes will remain the same.
The fare changes were approved by council in the 2025 Region of Waterloo Budget.
Grand River Transit promised, in addition to the fare increases, they would be adding 15,000 service hours to improve their core network in response to growing ridership.
