It went up in 2019. Stop lying.
>The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board voted on February 27, 2019 to increase fares and tolls. The new tolls take effect March 31, 2019 and the new fares take effect April 21, 2019. Highlights from the MTA fare proposal are below. https://www.benefitresource.com/blog/mta-fare-increases-as-of-february-2019/

How much was a ride in 2015? 2.75. What is it now? 2.75.

they got rid of the bonus, which effectively raised fares

Seriously? If you read the article you would see that the cost of the 7-day/monthly/etc unlimited are what went up. Those are the cards most people who commute are using.
I mean who else besides tourists and suckers use pay-per-ride anyway?

Subway fare is literally the same as it was in 2015.

One last time, or youre being reported for spreading misinformation
>7-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $32 to $33 >7-Day Express Bus Plus Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $59.50 to $62.00 >30-Day and Calendar Monthly Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $121 to $127
That is ON TOP of the 2017 increase
>The cost of a weekly MetroCard will now be $32 instead of $31. Monthly cards will go from $116.50 to $121. And the pay-per-ride bonus on purchases of $5.50 or more will go from 11% down to 5%.
>Express bus fares remain at $6.50, but the 7-day Express Bus Plus Metro Card will go up from $57.25 to $59.50.

The subway cost 2.75 to ride in 2015. It still costs 2.75 to ride now. Go ahead and “report me”.

The EFFECTIVE fare was lower because of bonuses. Those were decreased and then eliminated.
AKA, a fare hike.
Are you even from NYC? Do you even understand how fares work?

Dude. If I tap my phone it costs 2.75. If I bought a card and put money on it then it costs 2.75 a ride. The price hasn’t changed for a ride.
Can’t see what you wrote cause you blocked me. Say hi to everyone in New Jersey for me.

Imagine talking about fares in 2015 when you clearly just moved here and dont understand how the fare system used to work

Bonuses were a gimmick. An extra 30 cents? What good is that when booth staff don’t want to combine the assorted values from different cards?
