mark1447 Posted December 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2009 Saw it at 10th Ave/W207th on the Bx12 BRT route.. Why are they replacing the other ones? Metrocard Machines still there.. I wonder if this takes $$? Or coins? I didnt check.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted December 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2009 It probably works faster. Hopefully it does take bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petabread Posted December 19, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 19, 2009 I believe those are specific for SBS. The other ones they currently use will be returned to the subway system where they got them from once these units are delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I dont think that will happen since 1 machine of the one in my pic isnt enough. Those might just be for coins and/or dollars.. I wish the subway versions allow us to buy Metros..

petabread Posted December 19, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 19, 2009 It will happen over time. Not in one day. Though this may be just a test unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted December 19, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2009 It would be cool if the Metro Card machines were put in very popular bus stops but somewhere that is kind of far from a subway station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bveguy Posted December 19, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2009 Whatever it is, it looks fake... I like the current one better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Especially in Staten Island where there is ONLY SIRTOA and hardly any vending except St. George. Idk if thats the only station to buy MCs.

Grand Concourse Posted December 19, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 19, 2009 I have a bad feeling that machine will be heavily vandalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w8Hou Posted December 19, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2009 Agreed! Especially in Staten Island where there is ONLY SIRTOA and hardly any vending except St. George. Idk if thats the only station to buy MCs. There is another place besides St George, Eltingville Transit Center has MetroCard vending machines. ----------------------------------------------------------- You mean more cars hitting these? More like, white spray paint, stickers, paper fliers, scratches, dents, etc.... I am sure this new machine would be vandal proof, maybe not....
