fare hikes
Costlier bus rides
Fare hikes are increases in the price charged for transportation—buses, trains, subways, taxis, or rideshares.
The term appears most often in news coverage of public transit: Commuters protested the proposed fare hikes.
The plural form is standard because increases typically affect multiple ticket types or routes simultaneously.
