The cost of a ride on an MTA subway or bus officially increased to $2.90 on Sunday, the first increase in the base fare on New York City’s mass transit in eight years.
The 15-cent fare hike was approved by the MTA Board last month, and also applies to Access-a-Ride paratransit service.
Weekly unlimited fares also rose Sunday to $34 and monthly passes hiked to $132. A single ride pass bumped up to $3, and a half-price fare now costs $1.45. Express bus per-ride fares are now $7, and weekly fares are now $64.
