Back to SearchWHITBY, ON – Durham Region Transit’s (DRT) 2017 Service Plan is set to continue improving our transit network. Enhancements include:
- Increased service on the High-Frequency Network
- New services to growth areas
- Improvements to feeder routes
- More service in North Durham
DRT’s 2017 fare structure will see single-trip fares go up nominally, by a nickel, for customers using a PRESTO e-purse tap or a paper ticket. Adult monthly passes will increase by $2, while there will be no change to the price of Youth, Senior, Child and Access monthly passes. Cash fares also remain unchanged.
