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.
NYC subway and bus fare will likely rise to $3 in 2026
The price to ride New York City subways and buses will likely increase to $3 in January, MTA officials said during the agency's monthly board meetings on Wednesday. Originally planned for August, the proposed fare hike was delayed to allow for a required public comment period.
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.
