MTA fares to increase four percent in two years
Prepare to dig deeper before you board a bus or train, or hop in your car.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has announced pending fare and toll increases over the next two years, limited to two percent per year. The fare/toll hikes are now subject to public input before a public hearing scheduled for some time in December.
The MTA board will vote on the proposal in January of 2015 and, if approved, it will take effect in March of 2015.
