Our favorite tweets about the MTA fare hike

As of yesterday, public transit prices are up and morale for commuters is way down. We knew since January that MetroCard prices were increasing, but some New Yorkers are still having a hard time adjusting to the hike. We turned to Twitter to see how the city is reacting to the new price and it comes as no surprise that a majority of the Tweets are well, pretty negative. But at least some New Yorkers still have a sense of humor! Here are our favorite musings from today's train rides.  

Yay, the bus and subway fares go up 25 cents today! - no one ever #MTAFareHike

Yesterday while I nuzzled my face into a strangers armpit on the L train, I realized how excited I am to pay the MTA even MORE money. #nyc

I'm expecting anytime now someone to blame #mtafarehike on Anne Hathaway.

I can walk from Grand Central to Port Authority in less than 17 min you wanted me to wait for the shuttle. #Fail #MTAFareHike #mta

And then there's this guy who decided to take full advantage of that extra $2.75 increase.
