New MTA Fare, Toll Hikes Giving You a Headache?

The makers of Excedrin are sending out street teams Monday morning to subway stations around Penn Station to offer New Yorkers fare-hike relief kits.

They’ll be giving away coupons for free Excedrin (”for when real headaches strike”) and a quarter to cover the higher fare—as of 12:01a.m. March 22.

New fares for travel on MTA trains, subways, buses and bridges went into effect today. They effect anyone going into New York City on Metro North or by car; going around New York City on subways; and people riding Bee Line buses in Westchester County.
