Potential Fare Changes for D.C. Metro

3 minutes ago 0

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is considering changes to its fare structure. These changes include a potential fare increase for both rail and bus services in the D.C. area. Currently, rail fares range from $2.25 to $6.75, reflecting the trip’s distance. Standard bus fares are set at $2.25, while express bus services demand a higher fare.

Additionally, WMATA is proposing to introduce free fares for youths across the D.C. region. If this proposal gains approval, the new fare arrangements will be implemented in July 2026. This measure aims to make transportation more accessible for young people while balancing operational costs with service needs.
