The Alberta government has renewed the $4.5 million partnership agreement to continue funding the sliding scale for the next four years with the City of Calgary.
However, the Calgary Transit report says the sliding scale still has a $6.5 million funding gap.
City administration suggests increases to sliding scale fares:
↑ Band A to go from $5.30 to $18.55
(250% increase)
↑ Band B to go from $36.05 to $43.60
↑ Band C to go from $51.50 to $59.95
If you are concerned about these increases we encourage you to share this with your City Councillor. The proposed budget changes may be released next week.
City Council begins budget debates on Monday, November 25th.
