Ottawa proposes a new $78.50 monthly fare for seniors' bus passes, a 42% discount from the regular fare.

Ottawa's transit committee is proposing a new monthly fare of $78.50 for seniors' bus passes, down from an initially proposed $108. This represents a 42% discount compared to the regular adult fare of $135. The proposal aims to address concerns about an earlier, more significant fare hike, which could have forced seniors to cut back on travel. The new rate will be discussed at a committee meeting on November 25 and will require approval by the full city council on December 11.
