A fare increase has been approved for Metrorail and bus riders. The current fee of $2.25 per ticket will rise to $2.75 starting on January 1, 2027. This change comes after a 9-4 vote by commissioners.

Further action is expected, as a plan may be devised to impose a fee on the Metromover, which has historically been free to ride. Some riders have spoken out against the fare increase, calling it unfair. Details of the changes and the potential plan for the Metromover are available from the source.

The fare increase marks the first change since 2013.
