Monday, September 29, 2014 by Elizabeth Pagano
Capital Metro’s board of directors will consider adopting the agency FY2015 budget proposal today at noon. During the 2015 fiscal year, CapMetro will implement the second half of its fare restructuring, and single fares will rise from $1 to $1.25. Day passes will increase to $2.50 from $2, and monthly passes will now cost $41.25 instead of the current $33. Included in the restructuring is an elimination of MetroRail’s zoned fare structure.
