The MTA says it's considering raising the fares for commuters in the New York City area yet again. Here are the proposed increases: Subway and bus fares rise 10 cents from $2.90 to $3 Express bus fare rises 25 cents from $7 to $7.

The proposed 10-cent increase, the first since 2023, has been long in the works and would come after the mothballing of the MetroCard.

The price to ride New York City subways and buses will likely increase to $3 in January, MTA officials said during the agency's monthly board meetings on Wednesday. Originally planned for August, the proposed fare hike was delayed to allow for a required public comment period.
