The MTA just outdid itself. Today, they announced another round of fare hikes -- including a plan to make "unlimited" monthly MetroCards limited starting January 1st.
Translation: Even as the cost goes up to nearly $100 per month, monthly MetroCards will only get you about 3 rides per day next year -- the 4th ride will cost you extra. (Or you can pay even more for a truly unlimited card).
This "limited unlimited" is just the most outrageous part of a new round of fare increases announced by the MTA. But we're sick of this ridiculous cycle.
The MTA has to get the message that they can't keep using more and more fare hikes as a short-term fix -- they need a real long-term plan to restore the finances of New York City's transit system.
Will you sign our petition opposing the fare hikes?
