MTA approves fare hike to $2.90 on subways and buses, set for next month

By Ben Brachfeld Posted on July 19, 2023

The MTA on Wednesday voted to hike subway and bus fares to $2.90, the first increase in the base price in nearly a decade.

The 15-cent fare hike, which was approved by the agency’s board, is set to go into effect on Aug. 20, and also applies to Access-a-Ride. The fare for a single ride has stood at $2.75 since 2015, while weekly and monthly unlimited prices were last raised in 2019.
