I just read and was reminded that the next MTA fare hike is just around the corner. It actually caught me by surprise because it's been in and out of the news throughout the year, but disappeared recently. I think most people forgot it was coming and there has been no announcement by the MTA.
So the monthly card is going up to $104! It's hard to imagine that back when the MetroCard came out, it was nearly half that price. They're also getting rid of the useless 14-day card. People can just buy 2 weeklys. I'm surprised they kept it around that long. It's about as practical as a $2 bill. There's a grace period for old cards that ends January 10, so I thought I'd check my current one out. It expires January 9! I happened to luck out. I can buy a new one under the current price still!
