The Iowa City city councilors voted Tuesday to approve an increase in city transportation fares.
The standard bus fare would increase from 75 cents to $1.
According to the proposal, the last fee increase was in 1996.
City officials estimate a $330,000 revenue increase from user fees once the ordinance takes effect, on July 1.
Councilors voted on the third consideration and passed the ordinance on a 6-0 vote.
