Public Hearing on Proposed Metro North Fare Hikes
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) will hold a second public hearing Thursday, Sept. 30, in New Haven regarding Metro-North ticket sales and fare adjustments proposed by the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). These changes would affect Connecticut customers using New Haven Line commuter rail service and are part of a larger proposal by the MTA that would increase fares for New York customers.
MTA expects to implement these adjustments on or about January 1, 2011. Information regarding these proposals and public hearings scheduled for New York is available on Metro-North's web site at www.mta.info
The public hearing will be held 6-9 p.m. at:
