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.

The MTA says it's considering raising the fares for commuters in the New York City area yet again. Here are the proposed increases: Subway and bus fares rise 10 cents from $2.90 to $3 Express bus fare rises 25 cents from $7 to $7.

The proposed 10-cent increase, the first since 2023, has been long in the works and would come after the mothballing of the MetroCard.
