PATH fare increase approved

January 4th 2008 11:55 am

The Port Authority approved an increase in the PATH fare this morning, effective March 2, 2008:

Cash fares on PATH will increase from $1.50 to $1.75, a 25-cent reduction from the original proposal. Daily PATH commuters who use the 10-, 20- or 40-ride fare card will see an increase from $1.20 to $1.30 per ride, less than half of the original increase proposed. PATH also is developing an unlimited monthly ride fare similar to what’s available on MTA’s public transit system.

The Port Authority says they received only 18 comments opposed to the PATH fare increase.
