NYC subway and bus fares rising to $3 in 2026, MTA officials say
New York City subway and bus fares are expected to go up to $3 on Jan. 4, MTA officials announced during the agency’s monthly board meeting Wednesday. With a full transition to OMNY, the MTA announced it would also eliminate the 30-day unlimited fare option, making the seven-day fare cap the only way to get unlimited rides.
NYC subway fares are set to hit $3 in 2026—here’s what that means for you
It’s happening, folks. The $3 subway swipe is (almost) here. MTA officials announced this week that starting Jan. 4, 2026, the base fare for New York City subways and buses will rise from $2.90 to an even $3. That’s the latest in the MTA’s clockwork 4% fare increases, which roll out every two years like a grim little holiday.
Starting in January, MetroCards will no longer be sold, and unlimited passes will be retired, according to the agency.
MTA proposes a fare increase to $3 and a 7.5% toll hike, signaling a MetroCard phaseout for the OMNY system by 2026.
