Transportation Alternatives organized a rally to protest MTA fare hikes on Wednesday night.
Transit Wireless and the MTA have partnered with AT&T and T-Mobile to provide cell phone service to subscribers while in subway stations.
Beginning on Dec. 30, single ride fares will increase by 25 cents to $2.50 and monthly card fares by $15 to $104.
The MTA has ordered as many as 340 new subway cars to be equipped with surveillance cameras.
Battling a nearly $900 million budget deficit, the MTA is proposing plans that would increase the prices of their unlimited MetroCards.
Wondering when that next bus will show up on 14th and 3rd? Soon you may be able to see just how far away it is thanks to new technology the city is deploying.
The latest plans proposed by the MTA in an attempt to reduce their budget deficit include replacing the V subway line with the M and eliminating the W train.
Because of its $400 million budget gap, the transit authority may be forced to expand its service cuts and fare hikes this year.
