The change will allow New Yorkers to avoid a $1 fee on new card purchases, which will begin March 3.
The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/Ynv20g ) says the change will especially help riders who carry unlimited MetroCards but also take express buses or PATH trains.
Interim Executive Director Thomas F. Prendergast calls it “the most flexible MetroCard ever offered.”
So when I come into NYC & buy a single ride metrocard, they are charging me a dollar extra per fare?
The heck with them, I’m going to drive my co2 emitting vehicle into the city!!
