Valley Stream commuters could soon be paying even more for their daily LIRR rides, as the MTA plans another round of fare increases starting January 2026. With monthly tickets possibly capped at $500 and peak city trips rising to $7.25, many locals are frustrated—especially since the Valley Stream station is already in poor shape. The MTA says these hikes are needed to keep trains running, but with living costs climbing everywhere, it’s tough news for riders who rely on public transit. What do you think: Is this a necessary move, or just another burden for working families? #Transportation #ValleyStream #LIRR
