Yes, we've been hearing reports that the MTA is talking about another round of fare hikes.
First the MTA talked about increasing the $89 monthly MetroCard to $104 back in July, then raised the proposed rate to $130 in August, and promptly back-pedaled the next day. A single ride could also go up to $2.50.
The increases are all part of the MTA's 2009 plan to increase revenue by 7.5% in 2011 and 2013, and includes changes including a $1 charge for a new MetroCard (to encourage us to refill our cards), reducing the bonus rides you get with a Basic Card, and getting rid of the 1-Day and 14-Day Passes.
The Daily News has been doing great coverage of what the MTA is up to, and Public Hearings will take place from Sept 9th - 21st in all five boroughs and Westchester.
