NEW
YORK CITY SUBWAY
The current
(2004) NYCTA fare for buses and subway trains is $2. The MetroCard
is the main form of fare payment, purchasable in any amount from
$2 to $80. 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day unlimited cards are also available.
The famous token was phased out in 2003 and is now a collector's
item.
Looking to the
future, NYCTA is planning on replacing its older fleet of cars,
some which date to the early 1960s. Plans also include the extension
of the 7 subway train line to Manhattan's West Side in time for
the 2012 Olympics.
