Windsor's tunnel bus to Detroit may be on the chopping block during municipal budget deliberations as a measure to help reduce a proposed tax hike.

The mayor’s proposed budget includes a $ 1,435,180 cut to Transit Windsor's operating budget as one of several “inflation mitigation reductions” Transit Windsor falls within the scope of federal labour laws because tunnel bus operators provide a service that crosses an international border.

The budget recommends increasing regular bus fares by 3.25 per cent as of April 1 .

The increase would increase revenue by an estimated $300,000 .

The current bus fare for adults, seniors, and youth is $ 3.75 .

Council will deliberate the budget on Jan. 27 .
