Posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Mar 25 10:27:09 2015, in response to Re: WMATA Observations, posted by terRAPIN station on Wed Mar 25 08:28:13 2015. I've never lost a MetroCard with balance on it for as long as they have existed. But I know it's cash. If my $50+ MetroCard goes missing, I've lost the money. I'm prepared for that. But is that really a huge balance? Look at the price of the 30-day unlimited.I do agree that it isn't necessary to keep a high balance on the second card. I notice that I haven't been doing that as much lately (usually just keeping $12 or so on it) but I will evaluate that habit. Thanks. I'm not an "every cent matters" type so no, the $1 back every 6 to 8 weeks doesn't mean much to me. I like getting rid of the $50s in my pocket instead. And 50s must get used commonly around town because they always fall into my hands and I don't ask for them and I don't want them. And I enjoy skipping the bank, now that most banking can be done online, besides cash deposits. I would consider credit card usage (on MTA) if/when the card itself could be used as fare media (saving me from getting a MetroCard) or the cash back reached something like 5%. I'm happy getting the big 10% bonus available even to cash users. I'm sure you view a lot of this differently though. I respect that. Again bear in mind I'm not a daily rider, just once or twice per week. |
