Summary
Greenville Transit Authority is proposing a streamlined one-fare structure with free transfers: $2 full fare, 50-cent student fare and $1 discounts for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities; the proposal would accompany a price increase, timeline not specified.
Henry Coburn, a city communications presenter, said the Greenville Transit Authority is proposing a one-fare, streamlined fee structure intended to incentivize electronic payments and include free transfers. "The Greenville Transit Authority is proposing 1 fare, a streamlined fee structure to incentivize electronic payment methods with free transfers," he said.
