$121 For a Monthly MetroCard! MTA Approves Fare Hike For March
By Danielle Tcholakian, LOWER MANHATTAN — A monthly MetroCard will increase to $121 and a weekly will cost $32 after the MTA voted Wednesday to increase fares for subways and buses. The transit agency was choosing between two fare hike options, both of which would have resulted in the MetroCard price increases. The option they chose keeps the per-ride cost at $2.75, but decreases the “bonus” riders get when they put money on their MetroCards. The fare hikes take effect on March 19. The monthly MetroCard is currently $116.50 and the weekly is $31. The 7-Day Express Bus Plus MetroCard will also increase from $57.25 to $59.50, and the $1 fee for purchasing a new MetroCard remains the same. Before the vote, roughly 25 people addressed their concerns about the hike to the board. dnainfo.com/new-york.
