BlueLineBae ( @BlueLineBae@midwest.social ) English2•9 months agoFor those wondering, here are more details on the fare changes. In general they will stay the same or be cheaper. In my case, purchasing a 5 pack of day passes will be cheaper than buying a 10 ride pass. It will likely depend on what zone you’re coming from. Only part that sucks is that I can no longer choose to only use 1 ticket from the 10 ride pass and instead I have to use a whole day pass or purchase a one way ticket separately if I only take the train once that day.

JillyB ( @JillyB@beehaw.org ) English1•9 months agoUnder the new structure, fares will be equal to or lower than prepandemic levels. Major changes would include:
-
Replacing the existing 10-zone distance-based structure with a simplified four-zone structure;
-
Discontinuing the promotional $6 and $10 Day Passes and $100 Super Saver Monthly Pass;
-
Replacing the 10-Ride Ticket with a Day Pass 5-Pack available only in the Ventra app;
-
Discontinuing “incremental fares” – a surcharge to travel beyond the zones indicated on a ticket.
