In New York City, subway and bus fares seem to go only one way: Up. But on Sep. 24, the MTA threw those fare hikes in reverse for riders on five of its bus routes. Those routes — one in each borough — are now free for all riders. It’s a six-month pilot project to see if free fares will drive up bus ridership and increase the speed of the buses whose drivers no longer have to collect fares. Then we hear field reports from The Indypendent's Elias Guerra. He spoke with riders on the B60, one of the trial lines.
