The Port Authority will unveil a plan today to cut transit service by 35 percent, eliminate 48 routes, and raise one-way fares for some riders to $4.

It’s all part of an effort to close a projected 50-million dollar budget deficit.

The proposed service reductions and fare increase will be discussed this morning during a meeting of the Port Authority’s Planning and Development Committee. If approved, the cuts would take effect in early January.
