Metro board members approve fare hikes

Published April 12, 2012 4:00am ET



Metro riders can expect to pay more for their trips starting July 1, with bus fares climbing 10 cents, parking up 25 cents and rail trips rising by as much as 75 cents.

The biggest change, though, will hit the less frequent riders who use paper fare cards on the rail system, under the plan that won preliminary approval Thursday. They will now pay $1 extra for each one-way trip.
