The MTA proposed a fare hike today with a side of extra train service.
Some of the most congested and late trains in the system will be supercharged in the 2008 budget. Additional evening service will be added to the No. 4, 5 and 6 lines. Transit will also boost L line’s rush hour, weekday off-peak and weekend service.
The No. 7 will increase weekend service on top of recently-added express service after Mets games.
Even a train that recently scored high marks with advocacy group the Straphangers Campaign will see an overhaul. Riders on the No. 1 line will enjoy additional evening and weekend service.
In the proposed budget, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will fund additional service in all of its agencies with $30 million in 2008 and $60 million afterward.
