OATS Transit’s regional office in St. Joseph, MO has announced a fare change for residents in Northwest Missouri. Effective February 1, 2024, fares for rural service will increase to $2 each way.
Rider fares help us maintain current levels of service and directly impact the company’s operating budget. Fares are being standardized at $2.00 per one-way ride regardless of origin or destination. We are doing away with each area having a different fare structure, and instead all 18 counties listed will have the same fare structure: Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Nodaway, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth counties in Missouri.
As a reminder, drivers do not handle cash payments from riders. Instead, riders can add funds to their account in advance, and fares are withdrawn each time a rider boards the bus. Riders can add funds to their account, which requires a minimum of $10 each time. Residents wanting to schedule rides should call the local office at 816-279-3131 or 800-831-9219.
Bus schedules can be found online at www.oatstransit.org/schedules and click on the county you live in. OATS Transit is a private, not-for-profit corporation providing specialized transportation for rural residents of any age, seniors and individuals with disabilities in 87 Missouri counties.
