The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, which operates Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), recently proposed raising the railroad’s fares.
On March 9, the commission will hold a public hearing on the proposal, which calls for raising fares 7.5 percent, restructuring regular and discounted fares using a trip-based system, implementing a $5 surcharge for onboard one-way ticket sales and creating special group pricing options.
If approved, the fare increase would take effect April 24 when ACE rolls out a new electronic fare-collection system. Base one-way fares would rise from $3 to $3.25.
