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.
