While some transit commissioners mused this week about rolling back a steep rebate on seniors’ fares, the co-chair of the city’s senior roundtable is skeptical.
Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said she believes many seniors need a deeply discounted transit pass.
“I think any changes we might contemplate around seniors transit should be the subject of a community consultation and a comprehensive consultation because seniors value their transit,” Deans said Thursday.
