The budget comes as the commuter rail service’s ridership remains below pre-pandemic levels, with many white-collar workers continuing to work from home.
Metra is weighing a new set of fares for 2024 under a budget proposal unveiled Wednesday. The proposal includes no planned substantial changes to schedules, as Metra faces continued low ridership and a looming fiscal cliff once federal pandemic aid runs out, but the agency is eyeing service additions or changes as needed. Metra proposed a roughly $1.1 billion budget for 2024.
Metra fares have traditionally been divided into zones, meaning the farther a passenger rides the more they pay. After ridership plummeted at the start of the pandemic, Metra also began offering discounted monthly and daily passes. The proposed changes call for dividing Metra lines into four fare zones, rather than the current 10. Downtown stations would make up one zone, and other stations would fall into different zones based on their distance from downtown, service and ridership.
