NYC Public Transportation Price Hike
People don’t like the idea of a price hike of any kind especially if it has to do with a form of public transportation. The price didn’t really change if you buy the $10 or even $20 metro cards. If you want to buy unlimited cards for a month or even a day or week, the price has gone up 15% if I am not mistaken.
Before, if you bought a $10 card, you got $2 for free so it’s giving you a $12 card. And now if you buy a $10 card, you get just an extra $1.50. It is basically useless. I believe on the $20 card you get a $24 bonus which is 2 extra rides so that’s the money saver there. I used to always purchase $10 cards before but looks like I have to change that now.
