Thanks to Allan for posting that this card was finally available and thanks to Mr RT for posting that it was available at 207 St on the (A). I ran up to 207 St late this evening and took a leap of faith at the middle MVM at the 24 Hour booth and out popped the card I wanted! Click the link to see it: +select bus service on the Bx12 starts June 29, 2008

So you don't HATE buses anymore?
Something that beeps, and has lights has diverted your attention.

Metrocards can be used on both Subways and Buses.
Therefore this is the right forum.

Some of the cards Brian linked to in his original forum
do apply to the subway
so again it is the right forum.

Seems like this topic has a lot more to do with buses, but if people want to believe that it doesn't, OK then.

Incorrect. This thread has to do with Metrocards. It's not a belief - it's a fact. Maybe you need to read the post again?

What I could have been thinking about in supposing that a scan of a metrocard about "select bus service [on the] Bx12 [route]" has more to do with the bus forum? But if some people don't think that, oh well.

What the heck does a Metrocard have to do with buses that it doesn't have to do with subways? Metrocards are the fare media of NYCT, and are valid on both buses and subways, among other modes. If I posted the NFL Draft Metrocard would you say it would be better in the Off-Topic forum???? That would make no sense. Since Metrocards are of a general NYCT topic, I made the choice, as I often do, to post the thread on SubChat. The reasons for this are many: the more active forum, the effective "default" transit forum on this site, and the fact that I believe there are more Metrocard collectors here at any one time than on BusChat. Furthermore, the Metrocard hobby is much more centered around the subway part of NYCT because that is where you purchase your special metrocards, and it is also where you find (pick up) the majority of the discarded cards in decent condition.

It seems that you do not know much about the hobby of metrocard collecting, so I don't see where you get off claiming that what people think about this subject is wrong.

Metrocards can be used on subways as well as buses.
Also Brian said he got his card at the 207 Street subway station on the A line.

Maybe Brian had to take a bus to get to 207 Street to get his metrocard and found the buses weren't that bad.

I had a sweet ride tonight. My kind of driver - he put the hammer down and flew - right through potholes, over expansion joints, across metal grates, everything. He didn't waste ANY time. We need more like him.

Drivers for NYCT/MTAB and Bee-Line need to get "schooled" by Suffolk Transit drivers, now those are some real drivers.

If that driver got into an accident, it might be said about him:

he put the hammer down and flew - right through potholes, over expansion joints, across metal grates, everything. He didn't waste ANY time.

If a driver got into an accident who wasn't do that, then something else would be said about him. I don't understand your point at all.

It is on topic because MetroCards, although used on buses, are generally sold/purchased at subway stations.

That is where most of the "theme cards are sold" either at the booth or in the MVMs
