The MTA Board approved the above increase last Thursday the 6th of March. The plan does increase certain discounts, so if one buys a multi-ride card the actual increase is less than the 50 cent increase for just a single ride.An increase in NYCT subway and regular bus fares, Staten Island Railway and LI Bus regular fares, from $1.50 to $2.00 and NYCT Express Bus fares from $3 to $4.
An increase in the 7-day MetroCard pass from $17 to $21, the one-day pass from $4 to $7, and the 30-day pass from $63 to $70.
Also of note is the demise of the time honored token.
