BART will raise fares by 6.2 percent on New Year's Day, citing inflation and long-term financial pressures, even as ridership continues to climb across much of the transit system, the transit agency said.

The shutdown of the Green Line between the Daly City and Berryessa/North San Jose stations and the Red Line between the Richmond and Millbrae stations marked the fourth Monday since Oct. 20 that that BART has endured a significant delay or interruption to its operation.

This fare increase is expected to generate $15.6 million next year for BART, drastically-needed funding for an agency that's confronting a financial crisis.

November BART data shows an 11.6% increase in ridership, with over 4.4 million trips and significant gains on weekends and at urban stations.

The fare increase will lift the average ride by 30 cents, from $4.88 to $5.18, based on inflation recorded in 2023 and 2024. A short trip like Downtown Berkeley to 19th Street/Oakland station will rise by 15 cents, while longer journeys -- including the 45-mile Antioch-to-Montgomery Street trip -- will cost 55 cents more.
