Public Hearing Set for MTA Fare Increases

Residents concerned about plans to increase fares on MTA buses and subways can speak out during a public hearing at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 24.

After hearing the public testimony, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s board of directors will consider adopting the fare changes.

If adopted, the new fares will be phased in July 1, 2007 with a possible second adjustment on January 1, 2009.

The public meeting takes place at MTA headquarters, at Cesar Chavez Avenue and Vignes Street. The building is located next to Union Station.
