Our view: More Metra rate hikes
A year after the biggest rate increase in its history, a new hike went into effect this month for riders of Metra’s suburban rail service.
The 10-ride ticket, which previously was discounted, now costs the same as 10 individual, one-way tickets.
In McHenry County, the ticket price increased to $82.50 from $74.25 and to $92.50 from $83.25. The increase ranged from $2.75 to $9.25, depending on where in the county you board.
