WILMINGTON, MA — The MBTA is raising fares for Wilmington commuter rail riders beginning Monday, July 1, 2019.
A one-way fare from Wilmington station on the Lowell Line and North Wilmington station on the Haverhill Line into North Station will now cost $8.00, an increase of $0.50 from the current $7.50.
A monthly commuter rail pass for Zone 3 — which includes both Wilmington station and North Wilmington — will now cost $261.00, an increase of $16.75 from the current $244.25.
These increases are part of a much broader MBTA fare increase on subway, commuter rail, certain buses, ferries, and the RIDE Program statewide.
“State law allows the MBTA to raise fares at regular, modest increments, limiting increases to once every 2 years and a cap of no more than 7% for each increase,” reads an announcement from the MBTA. “The Fiscal and Management Control Board approved the proposal, with some modifications, resulting in an increase of an average of 5.8% across all fares.”
