fares
What riders pay
Fares are the prices charged for transportation—what you pay to ride a bus, train, taxi, or airplane.
A fare can also mean a paying passenger, especially in a taxi: The cabbie picked up three fares that hour.
The 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.
Farewell preserves this older sense of wishing someone a good journey through life.
