NEW YORK—The increase in fares and tolls for much of the public transport in the city will be in effect by March 3, yet the subway system, in particular, remains a bargain.

Single rides are up from $2.50 to $2.75 and any number of rides more than one are up from $2.25 to $2.50.

Also, the $104 monthly (30-day) pass will increase by $8. Yet among international hubs around the world it is still on the low end.
