examples

  1. Could you lend me a couple dollars for bus fare?
  2. The fare for the first 2 kilometers in a taxi is usually about 650 yen.
  3. Fares for flights during Golden Week, Obon, and the New Year's holiday are the highest of the year.
  4. The high cost of gasoline and expressway tolls means that it can often be cheaper to take the train.
