Metro Update: New Fares Take Effect This Sunday

Metro Update: New Fares In Effect

On Sunday, July 1, Metro fares and parking fees increased. You can view a summary of all fare changes on Metro’s website, but the best way to determine the new fare for your trip is to use Metro’s Trip Planner and enter a travel date of July 1 or later. (Use July 2 to calculate peak-period fares.)

A few highlighted fare changes:

Metrorail Fares

·         Off-peak fares: $1.70 – $3.50 (Senior/Disabled: $1.05 – $2.85)

·         Peak Fare: $2.10 – $5.75 (Senior/Disabled: $1.05 – $2.85)

·         The peak-of-the-peak surcharge (20¢ per trip) has been eliminated.

·         A $1 surcharge will be applied to each trip taken using a paper farecard (Senior/Disabled: 50¢ surcharge). To avoid this surcharge, customers are encouraged to use a SmarTrip® card.
