The penalty for fare evasion is increasing from $60 to $100. The increase, the first in 20 years, was unanimously approved by the full MTA Board at its June 25, 2008 meeting. The increased fine will go into effect for fare evasion summonses issued on Monday, July 7th, 2008.
Attached is a "Fare Evasion Will Cost You" poster, versions of which will be posted in subway stations and on board buses city-wide.
