NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – Make your voice heard on the MTA’s plan to increase subway and bus fares to $3.

Commuters could pay 10 cents more for subways and buses starting January 2026. Reduced fare would increase from $1.45 to $1.50 and express bus tickets from $7 to $7.25, according to the MTA.

There will be three public hearings on the fare hike on Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. and Aug. 20 at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. You need to register online ahead of time to provide public comment at these meetings. You can also register by calling 646-252-6777.

If you can’t make it to the hearings, you can submit a written comment online or by mailing a letter to the MTA Government & Community Relations office.

Soon, the MTA will collect feedback throughout the transit system.
