Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in the amount charged for travel' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fare' (the trip charge) with 'increase' (a rise or growth). This noun+noun composition follows standard English compounding and has clear parallels in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fare increase starts with a simple picture: fare is the 'price' people pay to travel and increase means making that price higher. So, a fare increase means the 'price' for buses, trains, or other travel goes up.
