Bill > A09083

This bill requires the metropolitan transit authority (specifically One Metro New York, a digital fare payment system serving subway and bus stations in the metropolitan commuter transportation district and New Jersey) to establish a thirty-day fare cap program. Under this program, riders will reach a point where, after paying a predetermined number of fares within a thirty-day period, they will receive an unlimited pass for the remainder of that period. Once the thirty-day period concludes, the fare count will reset, allowing the program to start over. This approach aims to provide more affordable and flexible transit options for commuters by effectively creating a built-in monthly pass system that activates after a certain number of individual fare payments, potentially reducing the overall transportation costs for regular transit users.
