MTA fare hikes go into effect this weekend
Sunday, April 21, 2019
NEW YORK (WABC) -- MTA fares have gone up -- again.
Subway, bus and railroad hikes went into effect Sunday.
Under the hikes approved earlier this year, weekly cards go from $32 to $33, while monthly MetroCard costs will jump up from $121 to $127.
Pay-per-ride subway and bus commuters will lose MetroCard bonuses. Before the fare hike, 5 percent bonuses were added when customers bought or added $5.50 or more to their MetroCards, reducing the value of an individual swipe to $2.62.
Meanwhile, the base bus and subway fare will remain at $2.75.
