Holy crap, I didn't even know they were going to raise their fares. Damn.

 

 

A few years ago, before it was going up by a quarter (from 1.75), i remember PA announced that in the up coming years, it will be raised by 25 Centers. I think only up to 2.75. Didn't realize it was happening so soon...

It's about time they raised the fare at PATH, $2 to go from NY to NJ is very cheap considering NJT charges $5 from New York Penn to Newark Penn. By 2014 the fare will be $2.75 which is still cheap. Alot of the blame for the increase goes to those who don't pay to ride and in my 6 months that I was an agent before getting promoted, alot of people beat the fare.

The revenue raised by this will help with projects like the new Harrison Station, lengthening the platform at Grove St so NWK-WTC can run 10 cars, the new signal system, and many other projects including the ordering of PA-6 cars.
