Dollar-and-a-half buses just doesn't have the same ring to it... but, the fare hike is supposed to be ratified by the powers that be by November 1st (isn't that a holiday?) or the bus drivers will take action.
They don't mention what the rate increase will be, though we did hear one report that it was going up by 50 US cents. So, remember to take quarters with you as you know how they don't like to make change.
I think St Thomas's dollar buses (Safaris) went up to $2 a couple of years ago....
Well, the price of gasoline is over $4/gallon, so it is understandable... Simpson Bay all the way into Philipsburg for $1 was quite a deal!
I haven't heard anything about the French buses, such as Marigot to Philipsburg, which did cost $1.50.
So It Goes....
