Effective August 16, 2021, Rural Stage Carriage fares will be increased by 15%. The new fares are to be calculated as follows:

Calculation: Base Rate + (distance travelled in km x rate per km). Each fare once calculated is rounded to the nearest $5

The Base Rate and Rate per km can be found below:

Rates: Base Rate (First km): $38
Rate for each additional km (Rate per km):$5

Example: A passenger is travelling for 76 km, the calculation would be: $38 + (76 x $5) = $418. The fare rounded to the nearest $5 would be $420
