PATH train fares to increase on Oct. 1

JERSEY CITY (AP) — It's going to cost more to ride PATH trains between New Jersey and New York.

Single-ride tickets will increase by 25 cents to $2.75 beginning Oct. 1. A two-trip ticket will cost $5.50.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says passengers can save by purchasing multi-ride tickets. A 7-day unlimited ticket will cost $29 and riders will pay $89 for a 30-day unlimited ticket.

The agency announced in 2011 that single PATH fares would increase at a rate of a quarter per year to help fund a 10-year capital plan. The projects include extending PATH to Newark Liberty airport, replacing the Harrison PATH station and renovating the Grove Street station.
