Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Mar 1 13:50:19 2013, in response to Re: $1 surcharge on new MetroCards applies to PATH, posted by MATHA531 on Fri Mar 1 11:35:21 2013. 5 cents for the card. What about to receive it, store it, ship it to the machines, fill the machines, keep inventory, keep accounts, and on and on and on and on and on.Point is, nothing ever costs what it costs to buy. Point B) what about tourists. It's a tax. Now you can pay for all that crap. same as hotel taxes, airport taxes, rental car taxes, etc. It's unaffordable to be a tourist in the USA anymore imo. Point C) My lavendaria card costs more than that, and I'm still using it a year later. However you mentioned it was a flimsey piece of crap, and RFID. I know which ones you mean and I would actually agree, HOWEVER since we're talking the government and regulations, they're never wrong and we can't do too much, so it sounds good! To quote Congressman Frank, you can afford it. Honest question though, How many of these do you think you'd have to go through in a year? Or how long does that paper stay together? I've had a few from Atlanta, that I never got to use and it stayed in my wallet fine for a long time.* * I got a "few" of them because I thought I was buying one refillable card, and instead it gave me a gaggle of RFID cards all valued at one ride. |
