Believe it or not, but New York City is about to get even more expensive this
month.

New Yorkers will be paying 15 cents more more to ride the subway or the bus
later in August, and residents are set to spend nearly another $15 a month on
average on electricity. That’s on top of rents near a record high, consistently
keeping the Big Apple among the world’s most expensive cities.


INFLATION CONTINUES TO BITE IN NEW YORK CITY

Prices rose at 2.5% from a year ago in the New York metro area in June

Note: New York metro data encompass New York, Newark and Jersey City

While the increases are minimal compared to much-too-high rents and other costs,
they add to the long list of items that are already putting a strain on New
Yorkers’ wallets. The cost of dining out was up roughly 7% in June from a year
ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and even a classic slice of
pizza costs more than in past years.



And once the latest price increases are enacted, the cost of living will
continue to rise. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s base-fare increase
is its first since 2015; monthly passes and tolls on MTA bridges and tunnels
will go up as well.

Residents will also see electricity bills rise by rise by 9.1% this month after
energy provider Consolidated Edison Inc. got the green light to raise prices to
meet higher costs and improve operations. Rates will go up again in early 2024
and 2025.
