New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted on Thursday to increase subway and bus fares on the nation’s largest mass transit system in March.

The cost of riding a subway or bus will increase to $2.75 from $2.50 and riders will get an 11 percent bonus by putting $5.50 or more on a Metrocard, which is used for access to the system, the MTA said.

The price of a 30-day unlimited Metrocard, often used by daily commuters, will increase to $116.50 from $112, it said.
