New Yorkers, buy your Metrocards#0

Posted: 11/17/05 at 3:18pm

Today starts the sale of the holiday metrocards. The unlimited card is for a 41 day period (Nov 23-Jan 2). The MTA website says "While supplies last". So obviously this discount is only as good as availability.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Pity I'm going to be out of town for such a large chunk of that time. I'd certainly love to take advantage of it...Are they still doing the $1/ride thing too? At least that'd be something!

Aside from monthy cards, can't we just continue to buy regular cards at the machines, and they'll deduct $1 instead of $2 every time?

Yeah, I just looked it up:

Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard or Cash
How do I get the holiday half fare bonus?
Simply use your Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard the same way you always do. The subway turnstile or bus farebox will register the payment at $1 for regular customers and 50 cents for Reduced-Fare customers. If you pay cash on the bus, simply pay $1 in coins (no pennies).
