New Metra fares roll out tomorrow though the transit agency claims most regular riders won’t be affected. There will be no changes to monthly passes as well as the 10-ride passes. But there will be an increase in one-way fares as well as the agency’s first increase in weekend fares. Metra says the one-way increases is an effort to “encourage customers to use 10-ride tickets and monthly passes, which already offer a significant discount over one-way fares.” The one-way increases vary by zone and you can see a complete list of increases here . Weekend passes, which are for unlimited rides during over the weekend, will increase from $5 to $7 and the penalty for buying tickets on-board a train if boarding from a manned station will increase from $2 to $3. A full breakdown of all Metra fares based on zone can be found here .
