A peak return ticket between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley will cost £1.30 more.
ScotRail fares will be increasing by 4.8% in early July, following a freeze since January 2022.
Transport Scotland confirmed that season tickets and flexi-passes would remain frozen at current prices.ScotRail came into public ownership in April last year.Transport secretary Mairi McAllan said the increase was below inflation and recent pay increases.
But the fares increase was criticised by Scottish Labour and transport unions who said it would encourage car use. "Our railways are already unreliable and overpriced, and now these punitive fare hikes will price drive even more people off trains," he said.
