Pace Fares To Increase Jan. 1
CHICAGO (STNG) ―
Effective Jan. 1, Pace Bus will implement a fare increase and establish a single fare structure for all of its routes.
The regular adult fare for all Pace Bus routes will be $1.75. This represents a 25-cent fare increase on traditional routes, such as Routes 530 and 714, and a 50-cent fare increase for all Metra Feeder routes, including the neighborhood feeder routes and the Park-n-Ride routes. In addition to the increase in bus fares, vanpool fares will also increase by 10 percent beginning Jan. 1.
Fares for the Metra Plus Bus Pass, which allows Metra riders to purchase an unlimited monthly Pace pass, will remain at $30 per month. Similarly, the fare for the Metra Link Up Pass, which is an unlimited monthly pass valid on both Pace and the CTA, will not be increased from the current price of $36 per month.
