MTA could raise subway and bus fares

The MTA proposed a $19.2 billion budget Wednesday that requires massive cost-cutting and fare increases that could potentially see the cost of a subway or bus ride rise above $3.

The agency would still have a $600 million budget gap with the plan.

Ridership on subways and buses are still only about 60% of pre-pandemic levels.
