Trainspotter Posted February 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2008 MTA unveils fare-ly complex MetroCards price system Here comes the fare hike - and two new oddball MetroCards. The MTA is rolling out a 10-trip, pay-per-ride MetroCard - with a peculiar price: $17.39 And the agency will soon start selling a 30-trip pay-per-ride with a $52.17 price tag. The move is intended to provide an easy-math option for riders wanting to buy cash-based bonus MetroCards with a specific amount of trips - and no spare change in value. Another reason: MetroCard vending machines can provide only limited types of change. But one transit worker dubbed the options "wacko.They just look odd."

Pablo M 201 Posted February 27, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2008 Now, the MTA has a fairly simple fare system, but with the confusion and loose change they're about to implement will make NJT's fare system look a little better! (Trust me, NJT's fare system ain't something to go "w00t!" about but one gets use to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
