Mass transit users won't have to worry about the MTA fares going up for the time being, but drivers could soon face toll increases at bridges and tunnels.

Yesterday the MTA temporarily put off a vote over fare hikes.

But raising tolls will still be on the table next month.

The MTA is hesitant to hike fares on subway and bus commuters when so many riders are essential workers.

MTA Chair Pat Foye told NY1 while there are essential workers who drive, most can still afford the cost of higher tolls.

"There are some who have to drive for various reasons or choose to drive. And if they choose to drive there's a cost associated with that. They tend to be higher income people on average than the average subway or bus customer. That's an average, that's not every customer,” said Foye.

The MTA chair also said that 24-hour subway service would not return until Gov. Andrew Cuomo declares the pandemic over.

Subways have been closed to riders from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. for overnight cleanings since May.
