Next month the Subway and bus fares will rise.
For the first time early birds will get a discount. If you use your transportation card before 6:30am there will be a 20% discount on fares.
The city government proposed two plans for fare raises.
Plan A: subway fares will rise from 1,050W to 1,300W which is a 250W increase. Bus fares will rise from 1,050W to 1,200W which is an increase of 150W. Youth and children's fares will stay at 720W.
Plan B: Subway fares will rise from 1,050W to 1,250W which is a 200W increase. ($1USD=$1,090W at time of article)
The last fare raise was February 2012. The government needs to raise the fares to make up for the loss they suffered due to discounted fares for transit passengers and a growing population of older people which receive free rides.
