Come Wednesday, riding a bus or light-rail train will cost a little more.

Valley Metro, the region's mass transit agency, is raising the price of a one-way ticket by 50 cents to $1.75. An all-day pass, probably the most common fare purchased by commuters, will be $3.50. This will be the first increase in the base fare since 1994.

Tickets can be bought at more than 150 outlets Valleywide, including Fry's and Safeway grocery stores. Another significant change effective Wednesday is that fare machines aboard buses now will accept $5 bills.
