As the new year rolls around, the price of train tickets on the Metro-North New Haven Line will increase by 1 percent to finance new rail cars, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The hike takes effect Jan. 1 and will affect travel between Connecticut and New York.
According to a list of new rates posted to the Metro-North website, off-peak trips from New Haven to Grand Central Terminal will cost $16.25, while peak trips will be $21.75 for adults.
It's the fourth of seven rate increases intended to help pay for new M8 rail cars and comes at the request of the state Department of Transportation, the MTA said.
The new rates will minimally affect most riders. Metro-North officials said not all one-way fares will change, since rates are rounded according to 25-cent intervals.
A full list of current fares is available online.
