I wasn't objecting to the increase per se but the large single increase.
I have in NYC for the entirety of the past ten years (and longer). There are a lot of factors (such as time of the day, traffic/demand), but fares haven't only increased recently. My records show fares in the 70 USD even a few years ago.
