I get transit chek. It's nice and convenient since it's automatically taken out of my paycheck, and also cheaper than buying the monthly one. Find out if your employer has it, it's worth getting.

Also some employers will actually get you the metrocards instead of the checks.
Well some do that as an additional compensation, but I was referring to instead of getting the voucher they actually get the cards to give for the transit deduction - especially since the booths don't exchange cards for the vouchers anymore. So if you get the cards at work, you don't even have to go to the machines!

That's nice. I keep my transit chek for the whole year. My card is so worn away that I barely know which way to slide it in anymore Good thing I got a new one for December.

it would help if the turnstiles wouldn't malfunction the way they do even when one slides the card in the right way. But that's the least of the concerns of the MTA with the impending fare hikes/reduction in services.
Rachael, I really beileve that soon there will be more people becoming fare beaters and forced into a life of fare evasion. Can you imagine yourself rushing to grab that subway with your worn metrocard and meantinme a couple of 80 year-old grannies are forced into a life of crime - one being the lookout and the other doing an Olympic style jump over the turnstile?

I didn't start paying for the train until I was 18. Used to hop all the time. Then I got caught. Actually got arrested one time for using my school issued metrocard on a holiday.

i actually once saw a short, older man in short pants try to convince the clerk that he was a third grader!
