MBTA cuts fares for low-income riders

• Adults who aren't disabled or already eligible for youth or senior discounts and who make under around $30,000 a year, or about $62,000 for a family of four, will get half-off fares later this year.

T officials peg the cost of the discounts at around $52 million a year and hope the lower prices will increase ridership.

What's next: The T wants to launch an application process for the reduced fares this summer.
