Fare Changes July 1st

AC Transit will implement a planned fare adjustment on July 1, completing the two-phase process approved in March 2025. Fares are an important part of transit operations, even though they only cover a portion of total costs. If a rider doesn’t pay their fare, AC Transit loses revenue it cannot easily replace, which can lead to service cuts that hurt everyone who depends on the bus. For details to changes check AC Transit's website.
