This is the first fare hike since 2019 and the first increase in the base subway and bus fare since 2015.

It is the first fare hike since 2019 and the first increase in the base subway and bus fare since 2015. Tom Negovan has the latest.If you plan on taking an MTA bus or subway in New York City anytime after Sunday, expect to pay a little bit more.

"Rather than having massive fare increases whenever the MTA hits a financial wall, we should have incremental and predictable, 2%-a-year fare increase. We're going back to that, that's predictable for our riders and it's a small bite," MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said. NYC Transit, LIRR and Metro-North Railroad fares are going up 4%. On August 6, tolls on nine MTA bridges and tunnels went up an average of 5.5% and as much as 10% for those who don't have E-Z Pass.Express bus fares are now $7, up from the current $6.75. And 7-day unlimited-ride MetroCards go to $34 from the current $33 while 30-day unlimited MetroCards go to $132 from the current $127.

Unlike the 7-day MetroCard, which requires an upfront $34 payment, the OMNY "best fare" initiative will give customers the financial flexibility to pay-as-they-go until they have spent $34 in any consecutive seven days, after which the cap will be in effect through the end of seven days.All discounts for seniors, reduced fares, will remain in place.
