The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority is offering $1 cash fares to help people feeling the pinch of inflation and rising gas prices. The $1 fare is good for a one-way ride on DART Local, Express and On Call services, through May 31. “With gas prices reaching nearly $4 a gallon and inflation at its highest rate in 40 years, many Central Iowans are looking for ways to save,” said DART Chief External Affairs Officer Erin Hockman. “Gas, groceries and rent are among the most significant contributors to the rising costs many consumers are grappling with. By making an already affordable means of transportation even more affordable, we hope more people will consider using DART and experiencing first-hand just how much money they can save.” Local Routes provide rides within and between communities. Express Routes travel during peak morning and evening commute times between the suburbs and downtown Des Moines. Regional On Call service is available in Ankeny, Bondurant, Altoona, Grimes, Johnston, Clive, Urbandale, the Easter Lake area and portions of West Des Moines.
