MTA Unveils 4 Separate Fare and Toll Hike Plans for 2013


Earlier today, the MTA today unveiled four separate plans for fare and toll hikes today, an unpalatable medley of options that the agency is asking its riders to weigh in on during a series of public meetings next month.

Two of the plans would leave the base fare at its current $2.25 rate, with more dramatic increases in unlimited ride MetroCards and discounts plans.

One of those plans raises the price of monthly MetroCards to $125 — up from its current $104 — and weekly cards to $34.

The weeklies are now $29.

It also reduces the seven percent discount on all pay-per-ride MetroCard purchases over $10 to five percent.
