I not sure if anyone posted this article yet.

Both Staten Island, Nassau and Westchester County does not have enough MVM, but only MetroCard Merchants.

 

From the news, SI are complaining about they can't refill old one from store.

I was wondering folks in Westchester and Nassau Counties are feeling same situation as SI that they cannot refill their MetroCard at merchants.

LIRR stations that have ticket machines should also be capable of refilling/selling different MetroCards like subway and the ones at the Hempstead Transit Center do.

 

I don't see why I have to go out of my way to refill my card.

IIRC, Westchester residents complained about the lack of MVMs too.

Long Island needs more MVMs,

 

put one in Mineola, they have that whole bus thing there and plus so we don't have to risk our lives going to Hempstead to refil metrocards.

 

Ideally every LIRR station with bus connections should have a metrocard machine. Or put bill collectors in the buses. The buses should be able to take dollar bills and give change

The thing that concerns me more isn't the lack of a location to refill MetroCards, but a location to transfer the balance of MetroCards, as well as checking the balance.

In Westchester County, you could check your balance or refill is at Westchester County or MetroCard Van that staffs with and Bee-Line employees.

I think they should expand MetroCard Bus/Van service into Staten Island, Nassau County and Westchester County other than listed in Bee-Line bus/MTA Website.
