Transit fare increase takes effect July 1

Starting July 1, Oahu commuters will face higher fares for TheBus, Skyline, and TheHandi-Van, marking the first fare hike in four years. This change comes as the city seeks to address financial challenges and fund maintenance and expansion projects. While this may increase costs for daily riders, it’s crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability and improvement of public transportation services on the island. The fare increase reflects ongoing efforts to balance operational expenses with the need for reliable, accessible transit options.
