Virginia Railway Express passengers will pay 4 percent more to board the commuter rail service starting July 1.

The VRE Operations Board voted unanimously Friday to enact the fare increase, said VRE spokesman Mark Roeber. The increase means riders will pay $232.40 per month or $8.45 for a single trip from Woodbridge to Union Station. From Manassas, the fare increase would mean $250.80 per month or $9.10 for a single trip to Union Station.
