Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CW6M7D - The cost of most peak time train tickets in Scotland is set to increase by 1.6% from January next year.
The move would see the price of an Edinburgh to Glasgow season ticket go up £67 to £4,267.
However, Transport Scotland said it is in the process of considering the options regarding future fares and tickets in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
This means next year's price increase could be paused.
Rail fares usually increase every January but the hike is linked to the previous July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation.
The Office for National Statistics has announced the RPI rate for July was 1.6%.
Rail fares to rise despite passenger slump
This means tickets, such as standard day return tickets in the Edinburgh commuter area or all fares in the Strathclyde area, would increase by 1.6% in January.
Off-peak regulated fares are capped at 1% below RPI so would go up by 0.6%.
There has been speculation that the UK's national and devolved governments could seek to delay the 2021 rise given the effects of coronavirus and record-low passenger numbers.
Passenger watchdog Transport Focus has called for a major shake-up of rail fares to encourage passengers back to the railways following the collapse in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Chief executive Anthony Smith said a system that fits the way we live and travel now is needed, including flexible season tickets, carnet-style tickets and better value for money fares across the board.
'Considering the options'
A Transport Scotland spokesman said it was considering the options for future fares and tickets as part of wider recovery work in the rail industry in the wake of the pandemic.
He added: The Scottish government is committed to ensuring that rail fares are affordable for passengers and taxpayers across Scotland.
We have taken action to keep fares down and ScotRail fare are still on average, 20% cheaper than those across the rest of the UK.

ISO 4217 currency code GBP [Great Britain pound]).
Sterling banknotes are official currency in the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, British Antarctic Territory, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and Tristan da Cunha in St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. One pound is equivalent to 100 pence. Three British Overseas Territories also have currencies called pounds which are at par with the pound sterling.
The Bank of England has a monopoly of banknote issuance in England and Wales but, for historic reasons, three banks in Scotland and four banks in Northern Ireland are permitted to issue their own currency “ but the law requires that the issuing banks hold a sum of Bank of England banknotes (or gold) equivalent to the total value of notes issued. Versions of the pound sterling issued by Crown dependencies and other areas are regulated only by local governments and not the Bank of England.

Another useful connection is cost of living and the difficulty of addressing rough sleeping through housing, health and support services together as part of the longer story of the recorded location.
