The MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) has recently proposed a new
idea. The company is thinking about
charging subway and bus passengers an extra $1 for each new MetroCard they buy!
The MTA is hoping that the “green fee”
will encourage MTA passengers to refill existing cards instead of buying new
ones. The MTA is hoping to reduce the amount of MetroCards that are printed. A spokesperson for the MTA reported that
around 160 million cards are printed each year at about a $9.5 million cost.
What do you think about this new idea
from the MTA? Do you think passengers will refill their cards or pay $1 for a
new card? Let us know your thoughts on our Facebook page, linked HERE!
