The city might intend to let its senior citizens ride public transit for free, but the rest of us will be paying more in 2014.<\/p>\n

Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des transports de Laval<\/i> (STL) has published its fares for the new year on its web site stl.laval.qc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

The price of a monthly bus pass will rise to $86.50, 8.8 per cent higher than the price that Montrealers pay for their monthly passes to use the metropolis\u2019 bus and metro service.<\/p>\n

The discounted rate for students aged 18-25 is $69 and children aged 6-17 will pay $52 a month. Children under 12 can travel free, though, during the summer as well as on weekends and holidays, provided that they are accompanied by a fare-paying adult.<\/p>\n

A single STL ticket now costs $3.25, also ahead of Montreal, which held its individual fare prices steady at $3.<\/p>\n

Eight-ticket packages are now priced at $20.75 or $14.75 for those eligible for the reduced fare.<\/p>\n

STL was quick to point out that it does not set the prices that commuters pay to use Agence m\u00e9tropolitain de transport trains. A monthly train pass will now cost Laval residents $125 per month. Reduced fare riders will get a $25 break and pay $100, while the children\u2019s fare is now pegged at $75.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
