This article is about how thw ATM's fares are going to increase. They are planning to increase this fares by June 17 for the Metro-North railroad and Long Island Railroad, and Subway and buses will change June 28 and bridge and tunnel tolls on July 12. They have got into an agreement for this fares instead of rising to $2.50 will be $2.25 which now is $2.00. A 30-day MetroCard will rise to $89 from $81. This reduction was made because of the the bailout package that the state Legislature passed last week to plug the $1.2 billion hole in the MTA's $11.4 billion budget this year. I choose this article because I been hearing about this lately on the TV so I was wondering what was this all about. I dont know if I agree with this increase, because I dont used this method of transportation, but if gas is going up I think is fair enough, even though I dont agree with the tunnel tolls being raise because I dont understand what is that going to benefit. Yes I think this information is fairly presented because even thought not all of us used this transportation we should all be aware of what is going on. I will keep using this site beacuse it has become very usefull for me.
Kensy, Excellent summary, really good job overall.

I don't think that this is far because ppl already pay alot for public transportation, and now its going up.
