If you're someone who uses a monthly pass to ride Muni, you'll be digging just a little deeper to pay for it next month. Not a lot deeper, but deeper, nonetheless.

The increase, which ranges between one and three dollars dependent on the pass, was decided back in April when the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency board approved their two-year budget, a post on the SFMTA's blog reminds us. Part of that budget included upping the price of almost all monthly passes, thusly:

"While nobody loves to pay more, fares must keep pace with rising costs and inflation," the SFMTA acknowledges. And with an anticipated $13.5 million budget shortfall in 2017 and a predicted $14.3 million shortfall in 2018, Muni certainly knows about rising costs!

If you use autoload to get your monthly pass on your Clipper Card, you'll see the new price appear on your statement mid-August, the SFMTA says. And if you actually go and buy a new pass every month instead of using autoload (a move the MTA frowns on as you then must "worry about refilling it," but I think is just fine! You do you!), make sure you have an extra buck or three handy, because you're gonna need it.
