The City of Sheboygan’s bus line is considering increasing its rates.
Shoreline Metro has put out a public notice of the price increase proposal, which, if approved, would take effect in January of 2026.
A 30-day public comment period has now opened for residents and public transport users to voice comments, questions, or concerns regarding the possible hike in bus fares.
Student rates would be the only fare that remains unchanged, while all other fares, including day passes, month passes, and six-day passes, would see an increase of $0.15 to $2.00.
At the completion of the 30-day public comment period, a public hearing will be held on July 8th at City Hall
Shoreline Metro has noted these increases are seen as necessary to combat reduced funding, increased expenses, and the exhaustion of COVID relief funds.
At the completion of the 30-day public comment period, a public hearing will be held on July 8th at Sheboygan’s City Hall at 5:00 p.m.
Those who wish to make a comment regarding the proposed Shoreline Metro rate increases ahead of the public hearing are encouraged to contact the Transit Director at dmuench@shorelinemetro.com.
The complete list of possible fare changes can be found by visiting the Shoreline Metro Facebook page.
