The Port Authority's board of commissioners approved an increase in tolls and fares between New York and New Jersey on Friday morning.
Tolls on cars using E-ZPass will go up $1.50 next month, followed by a $.75 increase every December from 2012 to 2015. This comes down to a $4.50 increase over the next five years.
A single PATH ride—currently $1.75—will increase by $1 over the next four years, starting with a $.25 increase in September.
What do you think about the toll and fare hikes? Is it an increase you believe is necessary? Or do you think it's unfair?
Will the increases affect your travel at all?
