Posted by MATHA531 on Fri Mar 23 08:07:33 2012, in response to "Metrocard transfer"-- the MTA.info answer, posted by gbs on Tue Dec 16 03:19:46 2008. As I said much earlier in this very old thread, this is the price we pay for having a system using 20th century technology in the 21st century. There should be one day metrocards costing the same as 3 entries...and a system where a pay as you go metrocard caps at the same pricer (a la the capping of London PAYG oyster cards). No transfers in Lodon but the one day cards take care of the problem as well as the capping feature of oyster cards. Like with countdown timers, the culture of the NYC Transit system says it can't or should be done. Of course it can be done; it should have been done a decade ago. As far as giving your card to somebody else, which I would assume is the paranoid NYC viewpoint of why it can't be done, require a $5 deposit for the smart card. People won't be so quick to give them away to others. |
