All this complaining about the surcharge, and you don't have to even pay it:1. Avoid this fee by keeping and refilling your current MetroCard at any MVM or station booth. 2. You will be issued a new MetroCard at no charge if your card is expiring or damaged. 3. The new $1.00 charge will not apply to a MetroCard bought at an out-of-system vendor, reduced fare customers (seniors and customers with disabilities), users of EasyPayXpress cards, transit benefit organization customers who get their MetroCard directly from employers or their benefit providers, and customers who purchase a combination railroad/MetroCard ticket. The punitive nature of the surcharge is designed so that people WON'T want to pay it. This is a good idea all around. |
