NYC subway and bus fares rising to $3 in 2026, MTA officials say
New York City subway and bus fares are expected to go up to $3 on Jan. 4, MTA officials announced during the agency’s monthly board meeting Wednesday. With a full transition to OMNY, the MTA announced it would also eliminate the 30-day unlimited fare option, making the seven-day fare cap the only way to get unlimited rides.
Starting in January, MetroCards will no longer be sold, and unlimited passes will be retired, according to the agency.
MTA proposes a fare increase to $3 and a 7.5% toll hike, signaling a MetroCard phaseout for the OMNY system by 2026.
