Worries about the new fares (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fears

'worries' is the definition.
(I know this)

'the new fares' is the wordplay.
'the new' is an anagram indicator.
'fares' is an anagram of 'FEARS'.

'about' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fears that I've seen before include "Is afraid of" , "Concerns, dreads" , "Apprehensions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
