At $88 / month the cost of metro cards is not cheap but from past analysis my wife and I still get a pretty good deal. With the added possibility of having to buy two more such cards for our kids if the MTA does away with student metro cards I am not so sure without running the numbers again. As expected our usage brinigs the costs down but spending $350 plus on metro cards is nuts.

I always thought that the DOE (or the OPT) subsidizes the student metro cards. Maybe instead of the MTA taking the brunt for these free cards the DOE should chip in instead.

ReplyDelete$350 is still cheaper than a new car and insurance payments. I'd rather see students pay for cards than line cuts. The MTA shouldn't carry this burden. I agree with the above comment that the DOE should carry the cost if the parents are not.
ReplyDeletevery good posting. i liked it. :-)

I feel that students should have to pay for the MTA. When I go around town. I see students with sneakers on that cost more than my whole outfit. If the parents, or students, can pay for those sneakers, then they can surely afford and MTA pass. This would be a lesson in responsability.
