FAX bus fares increase

A recently approved fee hike goes into effect Monday. Sunday was the last day a regular FAX bus ride cost just a dollar.

Now the cost for a regular bus ride is going up to, $1.25.

The cost for a disabled person to ride a handy ride bus jumped from 75-cents to $1.50.

The cost of a monthly handy ride pass has nearly doubled, from $25 to $48.

The Fresno City Council approved the increase, after FAX officials said it was needed to offset the department's losses.
