Por Fin la MTA llega a un acuerdo

The deal avoids increases of 23 percent to 30 percent as approved by the Metropolitan Transit Authority Board, but results in increases of more than the 8 percent discussed since April for the bailout. Monthly passes will go from $81 to $89 — a dollar more than previous proposals.
Fare increases will contribute $500 million to the plan. Riding MTA subway and buses will cost $2.25 for an individual ride, up from $2. Other fares would go up, including those for the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad. Fares rise 10 percent now, 7.5 percent in 2011 and another 7.5 percent in 2013.
