BREAKING: MTA passes fare and toll hikes. How much will NYC subways, buses and tolls increase in August?
Sources familiar with the matter told NBC New York that the tolls on bridges and tunnels would increase 5.5% as of Aug. 6 — two weeks earlier than the mass transit fare increases being implemented on Aug. 20. The MTA also approved the toll increases unanimously on Wednesday.
Commuter rail fares would increase as well, though the MTA recently announced a fare freeze for Metro-North riders west of the Hudson River. That freeze is set to go before the transit authority's board for approval. The fare increase comes days after the MTA said it would begin its fare free bus pilot on five routes -- one in each borough -- by late September.
