Passenger Trains > LIRR proposes another fare increaseDate: 02/10/19 14:54 LIRR proposes another fare increase Author: Lackawanna484 NY's MTA Long Island Rail Road has a program to raise fares every other year, far in advance of the inflation rate. Newsday says that fares have doubled in 20 years, and some believe this creates a threat to the vitality of the four counties.
The example rider will pay $6,400 yearly with an LIRR ticket and a monthly metrocard. Parking would probably be more. https://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/fares-inflation-increase-lirr-1.27069359 Date: 02/11/19 23:05 Re: LIRR proposes another fare increase Author: coach $533 / month
