Starting Monday, June 29, users of Grande Prairie public transit will have to pay for their ride.

The City says transit services is re-instating fare collection for all transit services, after fares to ride city buses were waived as a result of COVID-19.

The City adds passengers who had valid monthly passes as of March 19 will automatically receive a full month added to their pass.

Some safety measures for both drivers and riders have been implemented since the pandemic began, including installing driver barriers and limiting the number of passengers per bus. Passengers also must now enter the bus from the front door, and exit through the back.
