Monthly metrocards in NYC could rise to 168 dollars by 2023

[Canada Goose]

The $168 MetroCard may be in your not-too-distant future.

That will be the price of a monthly bus and subway pass in a decade if the MTA continues its current pattern of every-other-year fare hikes, according to an analysis by the city's Independent Budget Office. The unlimited-ride monthly MetroCard now costs $112.

The $2.50 base fare would rise to $3.75 by 2023 and the $30 weekly MetroCard would cost $45, according to the analysis the IBO conducted for the Straphangers Campaign.

Cab fare is already ridiculous in that city. You know you get charged an additional .50cent for every 30 seconds the cab is not in motion. So if your stuck in traffic on the highway in a cab, you are fukked for the most part.
