'New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced it is raising bus and subway fares due to budget constraints, a week after spending over $76,000 to stop “manspreading.”

According to the New York Times:

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted on Thursday to raise the base fare on subways and buses by a quarter, to $2.75, and the cost of a 30-day MetroCard by $4.50, to $116.50.

The new fares, approved by the authority’s board, were part of a package of increases being considered for the system’s trains, buses, tunnels, and bridges. The new rates will take effect on March 22.'
