Get ready to be bludgeoned once again with a ridiculous increase in public transportation costs. It looks highly likely that the MTA will once again be digging deep into the pockets of New Yorker’s to fill their ever-increasing budget gaps. The Daily News speculated that the MTA will likely increase the base fare from $2.00 to $2.50 or $3.00, all the while cutting evening service down and possibly nixing Z,G, and M service. As another addition, disabled and express bus riders can possibly expect an increase in fares from $2 to $4 for Access-a-Ride and from $5 to $7.50 for Express buses.
