Question 1 of 10
Data InsightsRoute 9 fare change
From: Fare Policy Office, Larkfield Transit Authority (a fictional agency)
On January 1, 2025, the fare on Route 9 was cut from $2.50 to $1.50 per ride. Route 9 accepts only single-ride fares, with no passes or discounts. Route 9 carried 400,000 rides in 2024 and 520,000 rides in 2025.
From: Service planner
Two other changes affected Route 9 in 2025. In January we raised weekday trips on Route 9 from 40 to 48 a day. Route 9 also runs on Saturdays and Sundays, on an unchanged weekend schedule, and our ride counts are not broken down by day of the week. On July 1 we discontinued Route 12, which ran parallel to Route 9; based on onboard surveys, we estimate that 60,000 of Route 9's 2025 rides would otherwise have been taken on Route 12.
From: Council member, District 4
Route 9 ridership jumped 30% in 2025, which shows that the lower fare paid for itself. It is true that systemwide ridership was essentially unchanged from 2024 to 2025, but that is due to factors that have nothing to do with Route 9.
