People who receive income assistance in Saskatchewan will again be getting help to buy bus passes.
The provincial government is investing up to $1.84 million to continue the Discounted Bus Pass (DBP) program, which helps people with low incomes buy bus passes at a discount of $25 per month.
“Having more affordable transportation will allow people with low incomes to be more connected to their communities and contribute to a better quality of life,” Social Services Minister Lori Carr said in a media release.
“I am proud of our government’s work with cities across the province to help people with low incomes have greater access to public transit.”
