Niagara Falls' Mona Patel says this means people visiting food bank won't have to pay for another trip
A Niagara Falls city councillor hopes for some changes at Niagara Transit to help those who need food banks.
Mona Patel noted a recent survey indicated some people skip eating in order to pay for transportation to food banks.
She'd like to see fare reduction and better accessibility for some people. "#2... See that service is affordable, reliable, and accessible, potentially accomplished by expanding the transfer time fare window from 2 hours to 3 hours. This would help households reach food programs without paying for two separate trips."
She added some people can't afford a bus ticket.
