The New York City Transportation Authority (MTA) has decided to increase the fare on metro and city buses from $ 2,75 to $ 3,00, or by 9%.

This decision was made, despite the protests of activists and discontent of New Yorkers, reports New York Post.

At the same time, when purchasing tickets worth more than $ 6, the discount will be distributed in 16%, that is, the average fare in this case will be about $ 2,60.

A monthly pass will increase in price from $116,50 to $121, a weekly pass from $31 to $32.

The MTA management intends to submit these proposals to the transport council, which will make the final decision. The introduction of new tariffs is scheduled for spring 2017.

The new increase causes active dissatisfaction with metro passengers, who believe that with the increase in fare, it is necessary to improve the quality of service, which many people are unhappy with.
