According to the agency, the exact amount of the increase could depend on what kind of MetroCard you buy.

One proposal would raise the $2.00 base fare to $2.25 for pay-per-ride MetroCards, and $3.00 for single-ride or cash fares.

Under this scenario, the MTA would eliminate the current 15 percent bonus riders get when they put $7 or more on their MetroCard.

Weekly passes would go up to $31 14-day cards to $57 and the monthly pass to $99.

The alternative plan would raise the base fare for all riders to $2.50.

The 15 percent bonus would remain, but some unlimited cards would go up a few dollars extra, with the 14-day card going to $59 dollars, and the monthly rising to $103.

"At the end of the day, we hope not to have to implement either of these proposals," said MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin. "We're very supportive of the Ravitch recommendations and hope they'll be implemented so we can avoid these draconian measures."

The Ravitch recommendations, made earlier this month by a commission headed by former MTA chairman Richard Ravitch, call for tolls on East River and Harlem River bridges.

Straphangers will have a chance to weigh in on the proposals at eight public hearings beginning next month.
