PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — In order to pay for increased operations costs, the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) will be increasing fare prices by an average of 3% starting July 1.
“VRE works hard to control internal costs but there are some costs over which we have little control and that rise every year. A good example is track access fees. Because we do not own the tracks on which our trains run, we need to pay CSX and Norfolk Southern to run on them. We recognize the potential impact a fare increase has on household budgets, which is why we strive to control costs, keep increases modest, and avoid annual fare increases,” said VRE spokeswoman Karen Finucan Clarkson.
