Dust off those old set of wheels because the MTA just approved a fare increase to go into effect on May 31. The price for a single ride on the NYC Subway will soon be $2.50, up 50 cents from the $2 fare it currently sits at.
And don’t think you’ll be paying more for better service either. The MTA also plans to cut bus routes and Subway lines in order to prevent the MTA from going broke.

According to Subway Blogger, Dunkin Donuts is running a promotional campaign this week at several different Subway stops in Manhattan where Dunkin Donuts staffers will be handing out free MetroCards (undetermined amount, but don’t bet on it being filled with much).
To get one for free, all you have to do is show up at one of the following stations between 6:30AM and 9:30AM and snag one from the Dunkin Donuts people.
If you’re reading this now, you’ve already missed today’s handout, but there are 3 more days left in the coming weeks!
