The Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Wednesday approved fare and toll hikes that will take place in August. The base fare for subway and bus rides will increase to $2.90.

Express bus fares will rise to $7, from $6.75. Seven-day unlimited-ride MetroCards will rise to $34 from the current $33, 30-day unlimited MetroCards rise to $132.00 from $127.00.

OMNY card users will get their bonuses over any seven-day period, rather than just from Monday through Sunday.

Tolls at MTA bridges and tunnels will go from $6.55 to $6.94 for E-ZPass drivers, and from $10.17 to $11.19 for toll by mail. The Long Island Rail Road’s discount Atlantic Ticket, connecting Southeast Queens to Brooklyn, will be gone.

In a press release, Charlton D’souza, president of Passengers United, was disappointed. He said the fare should remain at $2.75 for subways and buses, and an express bus should be $4 rather than $7.

“We are outraged that the Atlantic Ticket weekly LIRR pass ... is being eliminated for Southeast Queens residents,” he said.

Another tax cut for the rich should fix this.

$2.90 is still very cheap. Some people just want everything for free. Typical rightwing freeloaders.

While was down in the great red swamp of Florida, visiting my neighbors second cousins Uncle, I noticed three moving trucks with NY plates down the block. Being a nosy QAnon creep, I decided to investigate further.
Chatting to the owners of the first two trucks, they said they were moving back to the communist city of NY, as they were tired of the high crime and living in a state with the highest inflation in the country.
I chatted to the movers on the last truck. They said they were moving Mickey Mouse outta here, cause he was tired of being harassed by the androgynous Governor Meatball. Mickey just had enough of this governor sticking his nose into everyone's private lives.

Thank you New York Dem0Rats!

Well, in case you haven't noticed, congestion pricing hasn't been implemented yet. Unless of course you live in Russia or QAnon dreamland.

@"NYC needs tax money for the illegal migrant crisis and the MTA"

The illegal migrant crisis started shortly after 1492.

NY has the highest unreported crime rate in the U.S. and they all enjoy living in a state with the highest inflation in the country.

The biggest scandal is that millions of Americans can look at everything that is happening and be ok with it... there was a time in our country when the entire political class would have been tarred amd feathered much less the Marxist in particular.
It's incredibly demoralizing.
