MTA: Say goodbye to the MetroCard bonus, but transit fare will stay the same
The MTA voted Wednesday morning to keep the basic bus and subway fare at $2.75 a ride — but commuters will need to pay more for unlimited ride MetroCards.
Riders will also have to say goodbye to MetroCard bonuses, the break on fares that comes when they refill their cards with $5.50 or more.
At a meeting at MTA headquarters in Manhattan Wednesday morning, the MTA board voted to eliminate the bonuses.
