M.T.A. Approves Smaller Fare and Toll Increases
As part of a financing deal approved by the State Legislature last week, the base subway and bus fare will rise from $2 to $2.25 on June 28 — instead of $2.50 — and the authority will avert layoffs. Commuter railroad fares will rise on June 17.
… The cost of a 30-day MetroCard will rise to $89 (instead of $103) from the current price of $81.
Obviously, I’d rather keep the current prices, but this is much better than the original price hike.
