The monthly pass price for customers on the #69X-Liberty Express will increase to $95, effective March 1, 2010. The one-way fare will remain $3. The increase has been approved by the City of Liberty, Mo., and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority.
The $10 increase in the monthly pass price increase is in response to rising costs of operating Metro service. Passes will go on sale at the $95 price Thursday, Feb. 25, at public outlets. Metro customers in Liberty can purchase monthly passes at Hy-Vee, 1332 West Hwy. 152, and Price Chopper, 896 South “M” Hwy. 291. Passes will be available in The Metro’s online store at store.kcata.org on Monday, Feb. 15.
