NYC Subway Fares Rise Despite Free Bus Pledge

The subway fare in New York City has gone up to $3.

This is happening even though there was a promise to make buses free.

Also, the fares for the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad are going up by as much as 8%.

But there's good news too!

Now, children aged 17 and under can ride for just $1 if they are with an adult.

Before, this discount was only for children 11 and under.

The exact date when these changes start is not mentioned.
