The Metra board will decide in November whether to keep the status quo or adopt the agency’s proposed return to zone-based passes
Commuters watch as an outbound Union Pacific Northwest Metra train pulls away from an Arlington Heights station on Sept. 15, 2022.
After the meeting, Metra spokesman Michael Gillis said the agency would also include current fares, including the flat-rate day and monthly passes, among budget options for the board to consider. That means the board will decide in November whether to keep the status quo or adopt the agency’s proposed new zone-based passes.Metra fares have traditionally been divided into zones, meaning the farther a passenger rides, the more they pay.
Metra also planned to change its policy for selling incremental fares, which are fares passengers can buy onboard a train if their ticket does not cover the full-length of their ride. Only monthly pass holders would be allowed to purchase incremental tickets, which would cost $1 for travel to the first zone beyond the ticket’s coverage and $0.50 for each zone after that.
