Rock Region Metro Proposes First Central Arkansas Fare Hike Since 2009
Rock Region Metro in central Arkansas has proposed raising the adult one-way fare from $1.35 to $1.50, the first increase since 2009, and replacing paper transfers with a cheaper day pass. Reduced fares, including the senior rate, would also rise if the board approves.
