NYC transit fare rise to 75 cents and further hikes planned
New York City transit officials voted to raise the basic bus and subway fare from 60 to 75 cents effective tomorrow, with a potential $1 fare if state aid does not arrive by July 17. The MTA also approved a 25 percent fare increase for Long Island Rail Road and Conrail commuter lines starting July 15, with a second 25 percent rise tentatively set for August. Chicago, Milwaukee, and other areas face comparable rises as regional authorities consider further adjustments amid debt and funding battles.
