Need to know what’s been happening on the tracks for the past week? Here’s your roundup of the latest MTA news:

Just as we were getting over that extra quarter, a new report says that the MTA will have to hike the price per ride to $2.75 to help close its budget shortfall, according to wpix.com.

Proof that it’s never a good idea to stand close to that yellow platform line: One 18-year-old fell into the tracks after she suddenly got dizzy on an N-train platform last week. Most people in the station were stunned still, according to the guy who eventually saved her.

It’s an NYPD campaign we thought we could all get behind. But now the New York Post is reporting that police are ticketing people for taking up more than one seat in empty subway cars. Tickets for the crime saw a 17 percent jump between 2008 and 2009, according to the Gothamist.

And don’t forget, the public hearings on the MTA’s proposed budget cuts start a week from today. You can get a list of the times and places here.
