How Much Does This Ride Actually Cost?
Let's cut to the chase: how much does this fancy pants service actually set you back? Well, buckle up, because it's a rollercoaster of pricing information.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
The base fare is a cool $2.90. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong. This is NYC we're talking about. There's always a catch.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Enter Phase 2: Now, if you're part of the lucky 3,600 people in Phase 2, things get a bit more... interesting. Your base fare jumps to a whopping $4! That's almost a 40% increase! We're not sure who thought this was a good idea, but hey, New York is full of surprises.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.

But wait, there's more! You also have to worry about ride caps and subsidy caps. It's like playing financial Jenga, but with less fun.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
