#TravelThursday - MTA Approves Fare and Toll Increase

As many New Yorkers have already heard, there’s not much good news on the horizon where the MTA is concerned. The board approved a 4% fare and toll hike to go into effect on March 22nd. Soon, a single subway or bus ride will cost $2.75 and the LIRR and MetroNorth fares aren’t safe either.

Also, if you haven’t jumped on the EZPass band wagon yet, drivers who use cash for tolls will need to dig deeper than 4% increase as they will see between a 6.7% and 10% rise in cost.

"If Governor Cuomo and members of the legislature don't decide on new revenue sources to fund the MTA's five-year capital plan, larger fare increases are lurking around the corner," John Raskin, executive director of the Riders Alliance, said in a statement to Time Out New York.

Moral of the story? Let Dynasty Limousine handle your transportation needs this year.
