The operations board approved a 4 percent fare increase.
Virginia Railway Express riders will pay more beginning July 1. VRE's operations board unanimously approved a 4 percent fare increase to meet the rising costs for its contractors, fuel, and fees to access CSX and Norfolk Southern’s rail lines, officials said.

Riders are reminded that tickets must be validated prior to each ride with the exception of five-day passes, which need to be validated for the first ride only and monthly passes do not need to be validated.
