(From the Calgary Herald)
The price tag for riding the school bus is about to get a little steeper, as the Calgary Board of Education has agreed to raise transportation fees for the coming school year.
Elementary and junior high school students will see a $35 increase in their transportation fees starting this fall, bringing the annual cost to $200.
The cap for families with several kindergarten to Grade 9 students riding the bus will go up by $70 to $400 per household.
The changes are an attempt to generate $6.32 million to help offset the costs of running the busing program -- including covering an anticipated $1.4-million shortfall if fees weren't changed.
