Re: Buying a Metrocard at JFK?

Posted by zac on Tue Jul 10 07:36:57 2018, in response to Buying a Metrocard at JFK?, posted by gbs on Tue Jul 10 00:38:10 2018.

My experience traveling is that the unlimited ride tickets on the metro/bus/boat/whatever is never quite the bargain one thinks it is. As it turns out you find yourself walking most of the day and can't be bothered getting on public transport. I think this is just as true in NYC as anywhere else.

The last time I had done this, in Milan, I only used the ticket once to get back to the hotel after a day of touring, and that was on the #1 tram, which is one of the lines with the Peter Witt cars, and purposely rode it as part of the tour.

As a working NY'er I don't find it worthwhile to get unlimited cards anymore as they require me to use it more than twice a day/5 days a week. And since I bike to work at this time of year, it certainly isn't worth it. I just have an EasyPay card and just never give it any thought.

And aren't the buses all pre-pay at the airport now?
