Muni fare goes up to $3 starting July 1

Another good reason to get a Clipper card: Muni cash single fare is going up again this July from $2.75 to $3. According to the SFMTA, pre-paid fares (a la Clipper or Muni Mobile) is still $2.50.

The upcoming fare increase applies to cash fares, which critics are saying is a “back door poverty tax.” (Updated with this Hoodline story for more details on the criticism).

The monthly M and A passes are also going up. Here are the main changes:

Single Ride Fares	Current	July 1, 2019
Regular Adult: Cash (Clipper card fare remains the same)	$2.75	$3
Discount single ride*: Cash and Limited-Use Tickets	$1.35	$1.50
Monthly Passes	Current	July 1, 2019
Monthly M pass (Muni only)	$78	$81
Monthly A pass (Muni + BART within SF)	$94	$98
Discount monthly* and Lifeline Pass	$39	$40

* Youth (ages 5-18), Seniors (65+), People with Disabilities

So there you have it: remember, everybody must pay fare, lizard people or not!
