Metro set for across-the-board hikes

Published April 26, 2012 4:00am ET



Metro fares will be rising on July 1, with rail fares up an average of about 5 percent, bus fares jumping 10 cents and parking up 25 cents.

Off-peak and the longest-distance commuters — suburban riders headed downtown — will be among the hardest hit, seeing as much as a 27 percent jump in one-way fares during nonrush to $3.50 and a 15 percent increase to $5.75 during peak hours.
