Cohen is used to showing his acting talents in more under-the-radar indie fare such as Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines, and this movie should see him deservedly noticed.
Under the fares going into effect in March, a $2.50 base fare with a volume discount of 5 percent (to be available on purchases of $5 and over) translates to an effective pay-per-ride fare of $2.38.
Under the fares rise, a single journey from zone two into zone one will rise from £1.90 to £2.00 – an increase of 5.3 per cent, while a ticket from zone three to zone one will go up by 4.5 per cent.
Under the proposed fare structure, your fare per ride with the bonus card goes up to $1.74.
Under the new fare, which will go into effect in early December, the meter will charge 40 cents a minute.
In the meantime, cabdrivers have suffered under the recent fare hike because many riders are now tipping less than they used to.
Under the new fare structure, the "break-even point," when buying an unlimited card becomes the better deal, is 48 rides, given the pay-per-ride bonuses afforded to riders.
But under the biggest fare increase, the average price of a one-way ride on the Long Island Rail Road would rise to $5.60 from $4.20 and on the Metro-North Railroad to $5.45 from $4.09 for passengers who board in New York State.
Under the new fare structure, the "break-even point" for a 30-day unlimited MetroCard – that is, the point at which the unlimited card becomes a better deal than the pay-per-ride card – comes sooner, at 48 rides instead of 50.
But under the current fare structure, that percentage is expected to fall.
