Black Hills State University: Do older household members face the same local medical-transit payment rule as younger riders?

DIRECT ANSWER

Operator’s posted payment policy, not a zero-price promise for all trips, all seniors or out-of-town journeys; actual service and fares otherwise vary.

Prairie Hills Transit’s retained FAQ requires fares from passengers 59 and younger. Riders 60 and older make in-town donations, with suggested amounts matching fares but payment according to ability; it says no rider 60 or older is denied medical-service transportation for inability to pay. Assess the actual rider, in-town trip and offered service before budgeting. This age/medical-payment condition is separate from general demand-response eligibility or a guarantee of any requested journey.
