Mta Subway Fare Increase 2025 Nj. Prior to the most recent fare increase, the cost of a single subway ride was $2.75. Express bus fares will rise to $7.00, from the current $6.75.

The mta approved a budget plan wednesday in its last board meeting of the year that could increase mass transit fares and tolls by 4% beginning in august 2025. Nj transit says there’s no other choice because the agency is facing a $119 million budget shortfall.
