U.S.: highest adult base fares for bus single-trip, by transit authority
As of 2022, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, and the Anaheim Resort Transportation authority reported the highest single-trip bus fares with 5 and 4 U.S. dollars, respectively. The rest of the highest charging authorities are grouped into two major averages. The first averages about 3 dollars per trip, for example by the Regional Transportation District and MTA New York City Transit, with 3.25 and 2.75 dollars respectively. The second group averaged about 2.25 dollars, for example by Monterey-Salinas Transit and Orange County Transportation Authority, with 2.5 and 2 dollars respectively. 2 dollars was the smallest amount charged in the higher end costing trips.
The values presented here are about twice as much as those charged by the authorities with the lowest single-trip fares for adults, with 0.5 dollars for the lowest.
