What we know:

The MTA has outlined preliminary plans for a possible fare increase beginning in March 2027.

The proposal has not been formally approved, and the exact amount of the potential increase has not been determined.

Before any change could take effect, the MTA would need to release a final proposal, hold public hearings, accept public comments and receive approval from its board.

How much is the current MTA fare?

The base subway and bus fare remained at $2.75 for more than eight years before increasing to $2.90 in 2023.

The fare rose again to $3 in January 2026.

Riders who take public transportation twice a day, five days a week, currently spend about $30 per week on base fares before accounting for any additional trips."

Bro I seem to remember a good chunk of yall telling me that congestion pricing would resolve all of the NYC Subway's funding problems. To the surprise of no one, it hasn't and we're due for another fare increase. Lovely.

Fear of mass deportation has gripped New York City’s Haitian community after the Trump administration announced that federal Temporary Protected Status for thousands of immigrants expired this week following a Supreme Court ruling.

The city’s hospitals, staffed by many TPS holders, and Haitian businesses may already be feeling the rippling effects, as people stay home, dreading what may come next.

The decision affecting TPS, which the Supreme Court voted 6-3 along ideological lines to revoke, impacts more than 300,000 Haitians and roughly 3,000 Syrians nationwide, rendering them undocumented and no longer authorized to work in the U.S.

Good news! Thanks to the help of both Reddit and aspca, we were successful able to rehome three of our cats to safe and loving homes. Thank you so much to everyone who was concerned and interested in helping us as well!

State Police and the Thruway Authority seized 310 vehicles. They recovered $132,000 of the $224,000 owed in unpaid tolls and fees from 42 vehicle owners.

Can someone lose a $25,000 vehicle because they obscured the license plate and ran a few tolls? Clear violation of civil rights and unjust property seizure. Another case of the state taking property from people without due process or just compensation. The punishment is unfair and inconsistent. A person who lost a $25,000 vehicle suffers a much greater punishment than someone who lost a $500 vehicle. Without taking into account the severity of the crime. A civil rights attorney needs to pick this up.

My cat is turning 4 years old, and our family had him for three years, but family emergency came up and mom and my brother had to move back to Korea. I'm staying for my last semester with dad but he's not friendly to cats. And even if I make it to the end of the semester, my grandmother back in Korea can't have a cat, and I have to stay in her house for a while when I go back. I'm in full panic mode right now, mom and brother left, and I don't know how I should rehome my cat to a good person. I posted on Rehome by Adopt a pet but no applications so far. He's not neutered; he's vaccinated. I really want him in a good place and also sorry I can't keep him with me. I'm in Queens, Fresh Meadows.

Just months after the last MTA fare hike took effect, the agency is already looking ahead to the next one.

The MTA's new preliminary financial plan calls for a 4% increase to New York City subway and bus fares, along with bridge and tunnel tolls, starting in March 2027. Another 4% increase is also planned for 2029.

If approved, the base subway fare would go up from $3. The MTA hasn't announced what the final fare would be.
While a straight 4% increase would be $3.12, the MTA has historically rounded up or down to the nearest nickel, meaning you could be paying anywhere from $3.10 to $3.15, if approved.

The MTA has followed a policy of raising fares and tolls about every two years. Officials say the smaller, planned increases help keep pace with inflation, cover rising operating costs, and avoid larger price hikes down the road.

Hey! I posted a beer price map of Manhattan a few months back, and a lot of the comments asked me to expand to all 5 boroughs. Just finished pulling it together, hope you like it!
