He says the funding is based on statistics from two years ago.
"We knew we had a small ridership increase from 2017, which this number of $3.9-million is based on our 2017 ridership numbers, so we were anticipating a small increase so yeah, it was pretty close to what we were looking for"
He says the city has a number of options how to spend the funding.
"This money is available to transit, it is only used for transit and it can be used for capital or for operating, new buses. So when city council's looking at our entire budget they look at this close to $4-million and will determine where exactly it gets fit in"
He says most of it will likely go to wages and fuel.
