LIRR riders brace for more fare hikes

Long Island Rail Road riders are bracing for another round of fare hikes.
On Thursday, the MTA Board was discussing a possible 4 percent fare and toll increase.
Transit authority officials say they need the money to make up for revenue shortfalls and increased operating costs.
If approved, a monthly LIRR ticket would go up by about $15 a month.
The MTA Board is expected to vote on the proposed increase in January.
