"We understand that price increases are never welcome, but BART fares remain a vital source of funds even with ridership lower than before the pandemic," said Foley.
"BART has updated its fare calculator so riders can plan future trips accordingly, especially to essential locations such as health care appointments and workplaces."
The increase is expected to raise an additional $14 million a year for operations, including paying for the new 'hardened' fare gates, 'enhanced cleaning,' more police officers, and train operations.
According to BART, the fare increase is 'tied to the rate of inflation minus a half-percentage point.' The agency already raised prices by $0.23 last year.
