Fare Increase for Dummies

Alright, so let's talk about what "fare increase" means. You know how when you ride the bus or the train, you have to pay a certain amount of money to go from one place to another, right? Well, a fare increase is when the company that runs the buses or trains decides to make that amount of money you have to pay a little bit more. It's like when you go to the store and the price of your favorite snack goes up a little bit, except in this case it's the cost of riding the bus or train that's going up.

Now, there could be different reasons why the company decides to do this. Maybe they need to fix something on the buses or trains, or maybe they need to give the bus drivers or train conductors a raise. So, they have to charge a little bit more money from the people who ride in order to help pay for those things.

So, that's basically what a fare increase is – it's when the cost of riding the bus or train goes up. But don't worry, the company usually lets people know when they're going to do this, so you'll have time to get ready for it. And if you have any questions about it, you can always ask someone at the bus or train station for more information!
