Fare Hike

The Taxi & Limousine Commission voted today to approve city-wide hikes in cab fares.

The Port Authority Board voted to approve toll and fare hikes for its Hudson River Crossings after striking a deal with Governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie.

As the agency proposes huge toll and fare hikes, it lets "overtime flow like water."

The Port Authority plans to raise tolls by $4 next month and then by another $2 in 2014, according to published reports.

A 30-day unlimited MetroCard will now cost $104, while single ride cards have jumped from $2.25 to $2.50.

Drivers of yellow taxis have submitted a proposal to increase cab fares nearly 20 percent, according to a published report.

Drivers as well as bus and subway riders will all be paying more for their commutes beginning on Dec. 30.

Riders won't be able to activate old MetroCards.

The MTA Board meets Thursday to vote on a series of fare hikes, which could bring the cost of a subway ride to $2.50.

The "C" train was named the city's worst subway line for the second straight year by the Straphangers Campaign.

The MTA has scheduled several public hearings beginning Monday, Sept. 13, to hear feedback on its proposed fare hikes.

The possibility of $130 MetroCard was revealed in a public notice on Tuesday.

The MTA will hold public hearings on a series of fare hikes that could raise the price of a monthly MetroCard to $104.

The price of a 30-day MetroCard would increase by $15 under a proposal being considered by the board.
