CONSTRUCTION WORK AND OTHER UPDATES
Muni Fare Increases Effective July 1, 2025
On Tuesday, July 1, some Muni fares increased, based on public feedback received during our budget process in spring 2024. For details about all fares, visit SFMTA.com/Fares.
On Tuesday, July 1, the Clipper and MuniMobile discount was reduced from 25 cents to 15 cents, bringing the fare to $2.85. This change helps offset rising costs while minimizing the impact on riders. The cash fare will remain at $3. The cable car fare increased for the first time since January 2020, from $8 to $9.
After feedback collected from the public, these fare adjustments were included as part of the SFMTA’s 2024-2026 budget, which began on July 1, 2024. For more information, visit our Fares webpage or call 311.

- bus shuttles will replace cable car lines where work is being done;
- at least one cable car route will remain open to the public during normal operating hours while sections are being upgraded.
