As New Yorkers Rethink Mass Transit, Here's What To Do With Money Already On Your MetroCard
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - The coronavirus pandemic has many commuters rethinking their ride. But what do you do if you already have money on a MetroCard?
For pay-per-ride, the MTA says the value will remain on your card until the expiration date. If it expires, you can transfer the balance to a new card.
You have up to a year after expiration to transfer the balance at a booth, vending machine or by mailing it in to MetroCard customer claims. A replacement card will be issued for the remaining value.
