Proposed Changes in Fares on New Haven Line

http://www.mta.info/mta/news/hearings/

The public is invited to comment on fare increases proposed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation ("CDOT") for travel between Connecticut and New York stations on MTA Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, as well as for travel between stations within Connecticut on that line. The fare increases, which are proposed to become effective on November 1, range from 0% to 30% (with most fares increasing 14% to 18%), with additional proposed increases of 1% per year for the years 2013 through 2018.

CDOT also proposes to increase certain bus and Shore Line East rail fares, which would cause a corresponding increase in UniTicket and UniRail fares. More detailed information on the proposed fare increases will be available on or about August 15, 2011, on CDOT's and Metro-North's websites at www.ct.gov and www.mta.info or at Metro-North's Customer Service Center (8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Mon.-Fri.) located on the Main Concourse of Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, and at the offices of the Connecticut Department of Transportation, 3rd floor of Union Station, 50 Union Avenue, New Haven.
