The DC Examiner reports that Arlington’s STAR Transit System riders, the county’s ParaTransit service, may be facing the first price increase in 15 years.

The Arlington County Board will be considering raising the one-way trip fare, currently $2.00 by an additional 50 cents at a public hearing to be held March 30th 2006.

This increase will effectively bring the cost of STAR rides to the same level as that currently charged MetroAccess riders, $2.50 per trip, however it’s worth noting that this means the round trip cost will effectively increase by $1.00 in total.
