So the MTA decided not to raise the regular $2 fare—big whoop. I’m sure most people do not even purchase the full-fare metrocards. Usually, I purchase the unlimited monthly card. According to the NYPost, the monthly card will go up from 76$ to 81$. Though I still save money by purchasing the monthly card, they’re cutting it pretty close!

In between classes, I wrote up an excel sheet to figure out how much I’ll save.

I took the liberty of calculating how much will I save if they were such a thing as a 60-day 100$ metrocard. Came out to approximately a 50% saving with my riding habits–nice huh? Too bad it won’t happen.
