Rising costs, slower-than-expected post-pandemic ridership, and reduced state/federal funding forced the move. The SoCal Day Pass now costs $19 weekdays, $12 weekends, while simplified fares (made permanent in June) will shift monthly and multi-day passes accordingly—some even dropping slightly. Discounts for students, seniors, military, and low-income riders remain intact. It’s a tough balancing act: keeping service affordable while ensuring long-term sustainability across Southern California.
