GRT fares changing on July 1

Posted on Monday June 03, 2024

Effective July 1, 2024, Grand River Transit (GRT) fares are changing to balance value and affordability with the rising cost of operating transit.

During the 2024 Plan and Budget process, an increase in fare prices was approved, in addition to new products and increased transfer times for all customers.

There will be no changes to cash fares. Overall, fares will increase by an average of 2 per cent.

To balance the increases, GRT has increased the transfer time from 90 minutes to 120 minutes, increased the discount under the Affordable Transit Program to 50 per cent and launched a new Group pass.

The new Group pass is being introduced for $12, allowing unlimited trips for up to five people, of any age, travelling together on any one day.  We’ve also reduced our Day pass to $8.
