Bus service kept on
by city and province

THE CITY will put $3,800 more than it
planned into the local bus system this
year to avoid deeper route cuts.

Councillor Stew Christensen said fur-
ther cuts — beyond ones already planned -
would have cut into ridership revenue and
led to lower contributions from B.C. Tran-
sit, worsening the cash crunch..

“Tf we didn’t put another $3,800 into
the budget we were going to have to re-
duce the expenditure on transit by
$36,000,” he said.

The city has been under pressure to cut
transit costs or pour more money into the
system because of the province's freeze
on subsidies it provides through B.C.
Transit.

But Victoria has relented somewhat,

approving a one-time extra $11,000 from
B.C. Transit to help the Terrace system.

“It solves the immediate crisis for this
year only,” Christensen said.

Part of the plan to raise extra money
next year is to increase bus fares,

Adult fares would rise from $1.25 to
$1.50 next spring, and student/senior fares
would rise from $1 to $1.25. Other passes
would also go up by about 20 per cent.

The increases would raise an extra
$15,000.

Bus cuts taking effect this week in-
clude eliminating a Friday night south-
side and college run, eliminating one of
two daily southside runs right after
schocls let out, and having two routes run
instead by the HandyDart vehicle.
