Metro-North has issued a reminder that fares on the New Haven line will increase as of Jan. 1, 2012. 

The following information is from Metro-North:

For All Connecticut Stations

A fare increase of 5.3% approved by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) goes into effect on Metro-North's New Haven Line on January 1, 2012.

This increase will affect ticket prices for travel:

• Between Connecticut and New York stations;

CDOT Station Fares (to/from GCT) for New Haven Line Effective Jan. 1, 2012

CDOT On-Board Fares (to/from GCT) for New Haven Line Effective Jan. 1, 2012

CDOT Intermediate Fares for New Haven Line Effective Jan. 1, 2012

• To Greenwich
• To Stamford

For Rye & Port Chester Stations

There will be fare adjustments for travel to and from Rye and Port Chester. These NYS fare adjustments were previously approved by the MTA Board but were subject to phased implementation in order to avoid exceeding the existing fares from Greenwich Station. In December 2010, while the overall average NYS fare increase implemented was approximately 9%, Rye and Port Chester station fares were only raised an average of approximately 5% as a result of these fare hold-downs. As a result, most of the remaining average increase of approximately 4% for travel to and from Rye and Port Chester stations is being implemented on January 1, 2012.
