Starting July 1st, BART will be increasing fare!

According to SF GATE, "riders can expect an increase of 3.4% systemwide." This means short trips will cost about 5 cents more and longer trips will cost about 30 cents more. The average fare cost will reportedly increase about 15 cents.

The fare increase program was approved in 2019 and is set to increase fares every other year. The first fare increase was in 2020. After this year's increase, the next fare increase will come in 2024.

BART explains, "This proposed increase will help fund BART operations, reducing the risk of service cuts that impact essential workers and transit-dependent riders."
