peak fare
Highest transit cost
Peak fare is the higher price charged for transportation during busy travel times.
Transit systems, airlines, and rideshares raise fares during rush hours or high-demand periods: The peak fare on the Metro is an extra dollar during morning commute hours.
The opposite is off-peak fare, charged during slower periods.
