Kirk Tran Announces Increase in Rider Fares
Effective September 1, 2022
Due to on-going increase in their costs, Kirk-Tran will be increasing the cost of each one-way trip by $1.00, effective September 1, 2022. Customers will still be able to enjoy the multiple Kirk-Tran routes offered. However, the Board of Directors has had to make the difficult decision to change the rate of each ride from $2 inside the City limits to $3 and from $3 outside the city limits, but within a 15 mile radius of downtown, to $4 per one-way trip.
“Like most organizations, inflationary costs have placed undue pressure on our budget. We must take this step to ensure the future of our services. While we recognize the potential impact on our customers, we remain committed to providing affordable, accessible, and reliable transportation and still believe our new rates align with those principles”, said Ruby Watson, President of the Board.
Fortunately, this change in fares will not require a change in our current Kirk Tran punch cards. They remain available for purchase and if you have already purchased punch cards they will still be accepted.
