MNR is once again raising fares, this time by 5% in Connecticut. This will bring the ticket price up a bit, from $16 for example, from Stamford to GCT, to $17. The fare hike separated in two parts, with the first one going into affect this past Labor Day, while the second round will go into effect next summer on July 1st. The reason behind the fare hikes is apparently due to increased ridership on the line, specifically between Stamford and New Haven which is causing funding gaps and to maintain the same lavish level of service provided, they must issue hikes.
This move is on the contrary to the LIRR which instead of improving service when issuing fare hikes is instead cutting it.
