The surge to help with that big $30 billion capital improvement plan you've heard about in a number of Observer issues is on. As of this morning the PATH fare has made its $0.25 jump to $1.75 for individual rides.
Putting even more of a pinch on the pocket is the hike in Port Authority bridge and tunnel fares. The Holland and Lincoln tunnel along with the Bayonne, Goethals, Outerbridge and Washington bridge went up $2. The toll is now $8 during peak travel times.
That's 6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 8 p.m. on weekends.
E-ZPass users will lose $1 at peak hours but gain $1 during non-peak time.
