Fare Increases

Background

On June 26, 2025, the SEPTA Board voted to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget, which will cut service by 45% and raise fares 21.5% to fill a $213 million recurring budget deficit.

A fare increase averaging 21.5% for all riders will go into effect on September 1. The new base fare for Bus and Metro trips will be $2.90.

More information about SEPTA’s fiscal situation can be found at septa.org/fundingcrisis.

Learn how your route will be impacted at septa.org/fundingcrisis/service-cuts. View a map and tables showing how service will be modified on each route beginning August 2025 if new state funding is not obtained.
