Officials Considering Northstar Link Fare Changes

ST. CLOUD -- The organization which runs the Northstar Link commuter bus is looking to make changes to its fare structure.

Metro Bus is looking to simplify their fare structure to make it easier for riders and make it equal regardless of time of day or direction of travel. Metro Bus spokesman Tom Cruikshank says it creates fare equalization by reducing some fares for some riders and slightly increasing it for others.

The proposed changes would make the cash fare $2.00, 10-Ride Pass $17.00, 31-Day Pass $70.00 and the fares to Becker would be $1.00.
