The New York City commute is about to get marginally more expensive, as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is raising the price of a subway ride for the first time since 2015.
An individual subway or bus swipe is increasing by a little over 5%, from $2.75 to $2.90, according to the MTA. Meanwhile, a weekly unlimited pass is increasing from $33 to $34 (3% increase) and the 30-day pass is going from $127 to $132 (4% increase). Students and seniors, who get discounted rates at half off base fare, will see an individual swipe go from $1.35 to $1.45.
