One in five New York City transit riders say they can’t afford the $3 subway and bus fare according to a new study, which comes as the MTA is planning to raise fares again in a few months. The transit agency plans to jack up fares in March 2027 as part of a push to boost fare and toll revenue by 4%. A matching increase in the $3 fare would bring it to $3.
