Can you afford a transit pass increase?

Proposed monthly transit fare increases beyond 2020

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
