## Resource

Honolulu’s public transit fares are rising July 1st — the first hike in four years — with most tickets jumping 11-13%, except for single rides paid via HOLO card, which stay the same. Monthly adult passes climb to $90, annual passes to $990, and the seven-day pass surges from $35 to $45. Cash riders now pay $3.25 per ride. The city says these increases fund essential services and future investments, while promoting HOLO cards for perks like fare capping and a new reduced fare program for seniors, disabled riders, and low-income residents. Despite backlash from advocates worried about the burden on working-class families, City Council approved the changes, emphasizing that even small revenue boosts are vital to sustain reliable transit for all Oahu residents.
