What is the fare for a single ride on the New York MTA?

Asked a year ago
The fare for a single ride on the New York MTA is $2.75. This includes buses and subway rides within the New York City area. The fare allows for unlimited transfers between buses and subways within a two-hour period. However, it is important to note that express buses require an additional charge of $6.50, and the AirTrain service to JFK Airport has a separate fare of $7.75. For commuters using a MetroCard, discounts are available, such as the Pay-Per-Ride option, which offers fare bonuses on purchases of $5.50 or more. Additionally, there are other fares available for frequent riders, students, seniors, and disabled individuals, offering additional savings.
