Caltrain riders using paper tickets should expect higher prices beginning July 1. At the start of the month, paper tickets purchased from vending machines will cost 25 cents more for one-way tickets and 50 cents more for Day Passes.
Caltrain officials hope the price increases encourage riders to use Clipper, a regional payment system, instead.
A second fare increase of the same rate will go into effect July 1, 2013 unless 50 percent of one-way tickets purchased by March 1, 2013 are paid for using Clipper.
