increase for subway riders was approved back in Sept. of 2025...i.e. it had NOTHING to do with Mayor Mamdani...attached is another article explaining what's going on with NYC transit fares and operations...here's an excerpt...

Good Grief, but you MAGAs are an embarrassment to this University.

The board of the M.T.A., a state agency, approved a 10-cent increase to fares in September, raising the cost of a single ride to $3 from $2.90, as my colleague Stefanos Chen reported. The fare hike, along with others on tunnels, bridges and commuter trains, was expected to raise $350 million a year in additional revenue for the transit authority.

But unaccompanied minors 17 and under will get a break: They can now ride the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad for $1. The previous age limit was 11.
