BART to increase fares by 5.5%, but low-income riders to see more savings

Fares will increase by 5.5 percent starting Jan. 1, 2024, raising the average fare by 23 cents to $4.43, according to Bay Area Rapid Transit.

At a time when BART ridership still hasn't recovered - in November, ridership reached 43 percent of pre-pandemic level - the fare increases alone are expected to bring in an additional $26 million in operating funds through fiscal year 2025, BART said.
