Thursday, April 1 may be April Fools’ Day, but Burlington Transit isn’t fooling around. Riding the bus in Burlington will cost you more, starting that day.
You’ll have to add another quarter to the farebox, starting April 1. The cash fare for adult, student and senior passengers goes up by 25 cents from $2.75 to $3. The cash fare for children between 5 and 12 years of age also goes up by 25 cents from 60 to 65 cents.
You can still use any tickets that you bought in 2009 on the buses.
