The fare for reduced-fare riders increases from $1.45 to $1.50. Express bus fares move up to $7.25 from the previous $7, and off-peak reduced express fares climb from $3.50 to $3.60.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These changes, finalized during the board\u2019s September 30 meeting, continue the MTA\u2019s practice of mild, steady fare hikes in lieu of dramatic spikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tweaks to the OMNY Weekly Cap<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the fare increases, the MTA scaled back its initial proposal for the unlimited weekly OMNY cap. The board originally wanted a $2 rise, but public input over six weeks led to a $1 increase instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The OMNY weekly fare cap will be raised from $34 to $35. This ensures anyone taking 12 or more rides in one week will pay no more than $35. The reduced-fare weekly maximum will now be $17.50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThanks to the efforts of the governor and legislature, we avoided having to jump from incremental fare hikes to a huge increase like what Philadelphia is seeing,\u201d stated <\/span><b>Janno Lieber<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, MTA chair and CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher Tolls and Rail Ticket Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers are also set to pay more, with most MTA bridge tolls moving from $6.94 up to $7.46. The board adopted new expiration policies for Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North tickets as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All one-way paper and mobile tickets will now be valid until 4 a.m. the next day, easing the initial plan to have them expire only four hours after purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mixed Responses from the Public<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reactions among riders are mixed regarding the fare and toll hikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese constant hikes are making it tough to get by,\u201d commuter Omar Vera told the MTA, calling for a slower pace of increases, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/news\/mta-board-approves-subway-and-bus-fare-hike-2025\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">amNY reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, <\/span><b>Adam Schmidt<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, transportation associate at the Citizens Budget Commission, said such increases are vital: \u201cPredictable, modest biennial increases ensure reliable funding for the MTA and prevent riders and drivers from facing sudden, steep fare shocks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) board approved a new round of fare and toll increases scheduled for January, which will impact millions of New Yorkers who rely on public transit and commuter lines.
