Sep. 3—MANKATO — Mankato's city bus system, including the paratransit program for riders with disabilities, is in line for more than $700,000 in savings thanks to a special appropriation for outstate Minnesota transit systems approved by the Minnesota Legislature earlier this year. The two-year program aims to provide some relief for the steep inflation in the cost of fuel and new buses in the previous two years. Average Minnesotans noticed the sting of gas prices and the soaring cost of new and used cars during the post-pandemic economic recovery.
