MBTA Recommends Raising Fares, Cutting Some Service
ResumeThe MBTA is recommending an average 23 percent increase in bus and subway fares and some service reductions as part of a scaled-down plan to close the transit system’s deficit.

If approved, the MBTA’s proposals would take effect July 1.
Here's the MBTA's proposal:
