STC PASSENGER FARE INCREASE

Released on June 26, 2008

Effective July 1, 2008, Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) passenger fares will increase by 3.3 per cent. For an average one way trip of 190 kilometres, the extra cost amounts to 96 cents per ticket.

"The increase reflects the need for STC to recoup some of its increased costs while at the same time, deliver on the company's mandate to keep fares affordable," STC president and CEO Ray Clayton said.

STC's mission is to deliver convenient, affordable, safe, courteous and reliable transportation service to all people of Saskatchewan.

"In accordance with our objective to keep fares affordable, STC is maintaining the discounts it offers for seniors, students and children," Clayton said. Other special discount programs include passes for medical travel, a discount card for frequent travellers and a summer youth pass, which is offered for the months of June, July and August.

The last STC passenger rate increase occurred 18 months ago on January 1, 2007.
