Fair Fares Expands to 340K New Yorkers | New York City News

Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

The city just dropped a major transit win: Fair Fares is expanding to help 340,000 more New Yorkers ride the subway and buses at half-price. Eligibility now includes those at or below 200% of the federal poverty line — meaning individuals earning up to $31,920 or families of four earning up to $66,000. Backed by $54 million in new funding, this move tackles the crushing cost of the standard $3 fare, making daily commutes, school runs, and appointments more affordable — turning transit from a luxury into a lifeline for working families.
