“We’re making good on this last brick in this amazing edifice that is the restoration of the MTA’s financial stability. It is an important moment,” MTA Chair Janno Lieber said. “It is not without its downsides because anytime you’re asking people to pay a little more, you know that has consequences.”
The cost of a seven-day unlimited MetroCard will increase from $33 to $34, while the 30-day unlimited MetroCard's cost will increase from $127 to $132. All reduced fares for seniors will remain in place. Riders will also still receive unlimited rides for the remainder of the week after they’ve paid $34 in single rides, the MTA said.
