§ 100166 Transit Service Rate Setting

This law says the board gets to decide how much to charge for public transportation, and the prices have to be fair.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board decides any fares or fees for transit services.
  • •If there are no fees, that's okay too.
  • •All prices must be reasonable and not unfair to riders.

Example

A city bus system wants to raise its fare from $2 to $2.50.

The board that runs the buses can set the new price, but it must make sure the increase is reasonable and not too high for riders.
