April 1, 2025 Fare Change
Capitol Corridor will implement a fare change effective April 1, 2025.
During this time, we evaluated opportunities to grow ridership and improve service for both new and existing passengers. As a result, we recently conducted a fare analysis to develop a new fare structure designed to attract shorter-distance travelers. Our present fares for short distance fares are more expensive on a per-mile basis than longer distance fares—with the upcoming fare change, short-distance travel will be more reasonable and attractive. This marks a significant change to our fares that will go into effect on April 1.
Notable updates include reduced fares for short-distance trips (under 50 miles) across single-ride, student (6-ride), and 10-ride tickets, while longer-distance 10-ride/6-ride fares, and all monthly pass fares will see a modest 3% increase. Additionally, all single-ride tickets will have a minimum fare of $5, while 10-ride and 6-ride tickets will have a minimum of $4 per ride. While there are no direct changes to Emeryville-San Francisco bus fares, some increases to multi-ride ticket fares to Emeryville will result in a fare adjustment for this route as well.
