transit su pervisor said this morning the city is eligible for total sub sidy of $124575 from the ministry MTC pays subsidy to mu nicipalities for 50 per cent of the transit operating deficit Barries estimated deficit this year is about $2500X which means MTs share is $125000 Last December the city started new routes and schedules in transit service which almost doubled the operating costs and deficit estimatedfor1976 In January the ministry told municipalities they would get subsidies only five per cent higher than 1975 This left the city carrying about twothirds of the total operating deficit this year for cing an increase in fares to cover the loss MTs subsidy to Barrie was only $1375 leaving the city to pay$178625 This brings the deficit back to 5060 split Mr Burke said Humphrey

Burke said the increased subsidy will not affect the bus fares which are set at adults 40 cents students 25 cents and senior citizens 15 The city has budgeted $200000 in revenue this year from bus fares and Mr Burke said by the end of September the total was $133000 He said the city has paid $293000 of the $425000 budgeted for contract payments leaving deficit at the end of Sep tember of
