If they don't want a debit card they pay a higher fareIf they don't have a debit or credit card account, then a system could be set up to allow for prepaid debit cards ala metrocard with the chips in them. this is a good deal for visa, mastercard because the cards could be used everywhere not just the subway thus visa/mastercard get extra revenue in fees for use of the card outside the subway. Why does the MTA have to pay for a duplicate payment system just to pad the payrole with station agent salaries. Spend the money on station security or extra bus or train service Sell visa or mastercard through a bank like chase get the tittle of the official card of the MTA. FYI I much rather wave a credit card where i am not liable for any illegal transactions then swipe a metrocard with a value if I get it stolen I am out for the money |
