Metrocard

Please note the following information about split-fare transactions:

  • A split-fare transaction is defined as a two-part transaction: the first part is the partial payment of a fare with value from a MetroCard (value that is less than a fare). The second part of the transaction is the customer making up the difference in coins.
  • A split-fare transaction does NOT encode a transfer on the customer's MetroCard. The customer has to request a bus transfer from the operator after adding coins to finish paying the fare.
  • Customers making fare payment via a split-fare transaction on a bus are not entitled to a free transfer onto the subway
  • Customers cannot use multiple MetroCards to pay a single fare (e.g., a customer cannot use a $2.00 MetroCard and then try to pay the remaining $0.50 with a second MetroCard: it must be paid with coins).
  • WE DO NOT ACCEPT THE OMNY CARD YET....WE HOPE TO ADOPT IT SOON!
