Bad news, New Yorkers: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has voted to raise fares for subway and bus riders, as well as MetroCard holders.
The MTA board approved the fare hike Thursday which will raise the cost of a single subway or bus ride from $2.50 to $2.75; the cost of a seven-day unlimited MetroCard from $30 to $31; and the cost of a monthly unlimited MetroCard from $112 to $116.50, the New York Times reported. MetroCard bonuses will increase, from 5 percent to 11 percent, for riders who put at least $5.50 on a card.
