MattTrain Posted December 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2008 I like collecting MetroCards just for the sake of what's in the back of them. I have started collecting MetroCards since 2003, and I have had some interesting things said in the back, Okay now here they are: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted December 25, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2008 nice! I use to always collect metrocars myself B) . BTW I never seen a BUS Only Student Pass... Is it really for bus? Can it work on Subways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it work on Subways? The Bus only Student Metrocard only works for the bus. If you attempt to go through the subway turnstile with that card, you'd get a message saying "SEE AGENT."

Thanks a lot, if you have a collection, you can share yours here. I have about 60 different backs of the cards, I may have posted maybe two of the same back of the card by mistake.

MTR Admiralty Posted December 25, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 25, 2008 Very good job!! I would recommend collecting bus transfers and single ride tickets! I used to collect them as well, but my mum threw out my collection. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted December 25, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 25, 2008 Nice! I wonder my Student Pass is. The last time I used it was in June 2002, when I graduated High School..B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted December 25, 2008 You have all four green MetroCards!? :eek: I only have four green Metrocards, Maybe only four different backs, but maybe there was more. Thanks. Very good job!!I would recommend collecting bus transfers and single ride tickets! I used to collect them as well, but my mum threw out my collection. lol I only have about 60 single ride tickets, and 7 bus transfers, but they're all the same. That would be a good idea to display them. Nice! I wonder my Student Pass is. The last time I used it was in June 2002, when I graduated High School.. I kept the student passes where it's only good for two trips when traveling with my volleyball team in High School. My friend gave his bus only pass to me as a memento for helping him get to JFK.

VinnyBrooklyn Posted December 25, 2008 Share #15 Posted December 25, 2008 I collect Metrocards also, have them going back to when they started, Missing a few of course like the NY times card but all in all I'd say I got about 90% These things are part of history due to the time stamp.

MTR Admiralty Posted December 25, 2008 Share #16 Posted December 25, 2008 Unfortunately no. I have no PATH Smart Link Cards, No New Jersey Transit tickets nor Long Island or Metro North tickets, sorry. Ah.. I had one PATH Single Ticket in the past, but I lost it with my wallet. I am going to Philly on Saturday via the long way, so I'll have a NJT rail ticket, a Riverline ticket, a PATCO and SEPTA fare media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted December 25, 2008 Share #17 Posted December 25, 2008 I only have four green Metrocards, Maybe only four different backs, but maybe there was more. Thanks. On second look... there are more than four different backs. I have one that is different from any of the ones you have, one with a graph comparing carbon footprints. I thought there were only four.

I used to have a Fun Pass too, it had a transfer. Now they have convenience passes. Also they sell a special SEPTA round trip ticket at Broadway PATCO station, I will get those!
