Mayor de Blasio, Help New Yorkers Afford Subway Fares

“The cost of living in New York City — rent, groceries, health care, mass transit — continues to climb. And the lower your income, the harder these increases hit you. That’s why we’re pushing Mayor Bill de Blasio to adopt Fair Fares, an ambitious, large-scale discount program for subway and bus fares, in his budget proposal for the 2019 fiscal year. It would give half-price MetroCards to working-age New Yorkers living at or below the federal poverty line.”
