The MTA's expanded Fair Fares program offers a 50% discount on rides to certain low-income New Yorkers.
NEW YORK -- The MTA expanded eligibility for the Fair Fares program, which offers a 50% discount on rides to low-income New Yorkers. The MTA's customer service team fanned out across the five boroughs Thursday to help riders sign up for the expanded program. 'Our fare is $2.90. Our customers who qualify can get a fare that allows them to pay only $1.40,' said NYC Transit President Richard Davey. To qualify, riders must be 18 to 64 years old and meet income requirements.
'It's really simple. It's your name, it's your address, it's some simple income information to show that you qualify,' said Jill Berry, first deputy commissioner at the Department of Social Services.Click here to learn more about the sign-up process. Officials said 325,000 people were signed up before this latest campaign, but at least 1 million more are eligible.
