fare

Price of passage

Fare is the price of transportation—what you pay to ride a bus, taxi, train, or plane: The fare to the airport is thirty dollars.

A fare is also the passenger who pays it, especially in taxi driving: The cabbie picked up a fare downtown.

Fare extends to food, particularly what's offered or served: pub fare, simple fare.

As a verb, fare means to get along or manage: How did you fare on the exam?

To fare well or poorly is to experience good or bad fortune.
