Re: The Next MetroCard

I read the article and I dont see any benefit to riders, just to the banks.

That's if the MTA adopts a PayPass only system and don't develop one of their own.

The benefit for the MTA would be, they no longer have to buy metro cards probably a costly thing to do.

Another benefit would be the BANKS would probaby bid on the contract to set these thing sup similar to the wireless service thing.

Another benefit would be no one can now charge people to swipe them through.

I also see the MTA installing the full turnstyle in all stations if they go the pay pass route.

That seems more costly...

at first probably but you have to think of the long term benefit.

I for one feel more threatened by the guys hassling me to buy a swipe from them, than standing alone in a subway station at night.
