Transit fees will see a minor increase this year in Cranbrook followed by another jump in 2028.
Current single ride fees for an adult is $2.25 and will rise to $2.50 for 2026 and 2027.
That will be followed by a 50 cent increase in 2028.

“I really appreciate the simplified fare structure and I particularly appreciate it’s going to align with new technical options in terms of paying. I think that’s really positive,” said councillor Lynnette Wray.
The city will be supporting BC Transit in implementing some new programs.
The ProPass and EcoPass prepaid programs are being introduced.
The ProPass is a permanent bus pass purchased by BC Public Service employees through payroll deductions, while the EcoPass allows organizations to invest in a transit fund.
Phase 2 of the Umo implementation will also take place, which will allow for single ride tap debit/credit card payments.
