"NYC commuters can expect a sliver of relief at the turnstile, as the MTA revised its ongoing fare hike proposal to lower the price of its seven-day subway and bus fare cap. The new proposal cuts the unlimited OMNY fare cap price by $1. The now $34 cap will increase to $35, instead of the two-dollar increase to $36 that the MTA proposed in July."
"At the proposed base fare, no rider would pay more than $35 in a week. Reduced-fare customers would pay no more than $17.50 in a week. The MTA also announced changes to the plan to increase commuter rail fares. All one-way mobile and paper commuter rail tickets for the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will expire at 4 a.m. the following day. This revision replaces the original proposal from July, which included a four-hour validity window on the tickets."
The MTA revised its fare-hike proposal to reduce the seven-day unlimited OMNY fare cap by $1 to $35. Customers pay for 12 rides in seven days and receive free rides thereafter; reduced-fare customers would pay no more than $17.50 weekly. One-way mobile and paper LIRR and Metro-North tickets will expire at 4 a.m. the following day, replacing an earlier four-hour validity proposal. Single subway and bus fares are planned to rise from $2.90 to $3 in January 2026, and express fares from $7 to $7.25. MetroCards will no longer be sold after Dec. 31, 2025; new OMNY cards will cost $2 once MetroCard acceptance ends.
