The price to ride New York City subways and buses will likely increase to $3 in January, MTA officials said during the agency's monthly board meetings on Wednesday. Originally planned for August, the proposed fare hike was delayed to allow for a required public comment period.

Here are the proposed increases: Express bus fare rises 25 cents from $7 to $7.25 Drivers pay 20-60 cents more to use bridges and tunnels One-way peak tickets for Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North jump by as much as 4.4%
