"In its latest wallet-sacking move, the MTA announced yesterday it's considering steep bus and subway hikes, including raising the monthly unlimited MetroCard to a whopping $130."

The respective Berlin 'MetroCard' for the metropolitan area of Germany's capital (less than 4 million people) would cost you 88,50 euros ($112).
London's tube system would already charge adults (zones 1-3) GBP 116 ($179).
