Multiple sources are reporting that the MTA Board has approved a budget that assumes a 4% toll and subway and bus fare increase. The new bus and subway fare is expected to become $3.00 sometime next year. The last increase, in 2023, raised it from $2.75 to the current $2.90.
Also, starting on January 5, 2025, vehicles entering the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan — local streets and avenues at or below 60 Street — will be charged an E-ZPass toll based on the time of day and type of vehicle. Regular passenger cars will charged $9.00 between 5AM and 9PM weekdays; 9AM and 9PM weekends. Nighttime tolls for regular passenger cars will be 75% lower ($2.25).
