MTA Fare Increase - NEW YORKERS READ!

New York... We have a problem. As we know, MTA has the largest fleet of trains in the whole world, and it also is operating at the largest deficit. Therefore, fares have increased and service has changed. Aside from what I post here, more information can be found at this link.

The base fare has increased from 2.00 to 2.50. And there are other fee changes for unlimited cards shown in the picture below.



Other Service Changes...
