Changes to CityRail fares were approved today by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). From Sunday 2 July, one-way fares will increase by 2.9 per cent - in line with CPI - and off peak discounts will decrease by nine per cent from 39 to 30 per cent.
The IPART process involved a call for public submissions as well as public hearings involving RailCorp, non-government organisations and commuter representatives.
The table below will give you an indication of the changes in price.
Fare calculator data on this website will be updated when the changes are introduced.
