I think the fare is probably underpriced at the moment, plus we have no zone pricing. I don’t think it’s a regressive stance to say we’re probably due for a fare increase.

Obviously so many other financial problems should be fixed at the MTA before touching the fare price, but this is something that would be comparatively easy to enact, and sometimes you gotta grab the low hanging fruit.

There are LOTS of ways to reduce the standard fare — from reduced fare cards to monthly unlimited cards.
