SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The Metropolitan Transit System’s Board of Directors approved a change to its fare policies Thursday, including a reduction of youth fares and free transfers for the bus and trolley. The MTS Board of Directors forwarded a recommendation to the San Diego Associations of Governments to make changes to the Regional Comprehensive Fare Ordinance which include reducing youth one-way fares from $2.50 to $1.25 and allowing free transfers for one-way fares within two hours of the first boarding. “I support this Fare Ordinance Recommendation because it prevents us from raising fares at a time that our ridership is just 47% of our pre-pandemic level and makes changes to boost ridership,” said Vivian Moreno, MTS board member and San Diego City Councilwoman. “Growing our ridership is how MTS will recover from the pandemic. Free transfers will help us boost ridership by making our transit system more attractive to occasional or first-time riders.”
