According to the MTA website, some of the changes coming include fare and toll increases for buses, subway, Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road.

Days after the MetroCard machine was shut down, commuters are counting down to a new change – fare price hikes starting on Sunday.

Neighbors in Fordham told News 12 on Saturday that they are already thinking of ways to save money.

“I just budget, I look for the unlimited options like the weekly…Sometimes if I need to walk, I walk,” said Shelly Wilson.

According to the MTA website, some of the changes coming include fare and toll increases for buses, subway, Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road.

Bus fare will spike up to $3, while Metro-North CityPeak tickets will scale up by 25 cents.

Commuters who use the TrainTime app will also see a price change. A surcharge of $8 will be applied when a rider purchases a ticket or activates it while already onboard a train.

The MTA said the start of the fare and toll increases were aligned with the full transition to the tap-and-go option.
