CORNWALL – Cornwall Transit is planning a “modest” fare increase for riders, starting in May.
But some users of the system may not notice it when they wave their credit or debit card because the city is also installing electronic fareboxes as part of its capital plan for 2021.
The city’s budget doesn’t exactly say how much the increase will be but Cornwall Transit Manager Len Tapp may spell it out when he presents his budget in more detail this afternoon (Feb. 1) during the city budget meeting.
