SAN CARLOS, Calif. — Bay Area commuter operator Caltrain will delay fare increases planned for July 1 as part of its effort to encourage more riders to return to the system.
A 50-cent increase in the base fare and an increase in the cost of monthly fares, from the cost of 24 trips to 30, had been scheduled for July. But Caltrain announced Wednesday that Executive Director Michelle Bouchard had implemented a promotional fare discount, keeping fares at their current level until Dec. 31.
A Caltrain press release notes that similar moves have been taken by agencies ranging from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority to New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
