- itschekkers 8y agoi think its because they are correcting for the commuter tax deduction. ask your HR folks about https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/about/commuter-benefits-law.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/about/commuter-benefits-law.pa...
- CydeWeys 8y agoNope, just out of date. $116.50 was the price prior to the increase to $121. The commuter tax deduction lets you buy the cards with pre-tax money deducted from your paycheck, which is a substantial reduction up to 45% or so depending on your marginal tax rate. Of course, because it's using pre-tax money, it's giving a bigger discount to higher earners, which makes it the opposite of progressive, which seems opposite of what's intended. Separately, seniors/disabled people pay half fare: http://web.mta.info/nyct/fare/rfindex.htm http://web.mta.info/nyct/fare/rfindex.htm
- CydeWeys 8y agoTurns out the monthly price was raised from $116.50 to $121 in 2017, so I'm guessing you moved here since then. I'll confess that I don't buy the monthly passes because I bike to work every day, and thus don't take subway nearly often enough to recoup the monthly costs.
