Metra is seeking public comment on its proposals to make some major changes to their fares.
The proposal would create a simplified fare system for Metra riders. The commuter train currently has a 10-zone fare system, and prices for some tickets are based on the number of zones traveled. In the new proposal, there are only four fare zones. Downtown stations would be in Zone 1, and outlying stations would be in Zones 2 through 4 based on their proximity to downtown, service patterns and ridership characteristics on each line.
A day pass would cost twice as much as a one way ticket and be valid for unlimited rides in one day in the zones selected. The 10-ride ticket would be replaced by a bundle of five day passes, which would only be available on the Ventra app. The $6 and $10 day passes and the $100 "Super Saver" monthly pass, all introduced during as pandemic promotions, would be discontinued.
