"Though New York City Transit now uses a contactless tap-and-go system, the old MetroCard machines will long be associated with America’s busiest public transit system.

🚆📱💳📈 More than one million journeys have now been made using Tap & Go on the #Merseyrail network, marking a major milestone for smart ticketing in the #Liverpool City Region. Available at all 69 stations, the system allows passengers to travel using a #MetroCard, contactless bank card, smartphone or smartwatch, with most choosing to use mobile phones. Tap & Go automatically calculates the cheapest fare and removes the need to buy paper tickets in advance. More than 35,000 journeys were recorded during last month’s three-day Grand National Festival at Aintree. Backed by a £10 million investment from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, the scheme is part of wider plans for a fully integrated #transport network covering rail, buses and ferries. Passengers are reminded to tap in and tap out to complete their journeys.

#TodayinHistory: #OnThisDay in 1997, #MetroCard was officially accepted throughout #NYC's subway and bus systems. A year later, artist Juan Carlos Pinto arrived in #NYC and began finding MetroCards strewn around the city. Both plentiful and colorful, MetroCards became Pinto's medium.

#MetroCardMonday: #AAPIHeritageMonth: This #MetroCard, issued by the @[email protected] in the year 2000, features a historic photo from the collection of the Museum of Chinese in America. It was one of ten MetroCards in Emmigrant Savings Bank’s immigration series.

Beloved by generations of artists, the #MetroCard card has been a medium, a canvas, and an artistic muse. 👀 See what it has inspired. Our new FREE exhibit, “Inspired by MetroCard" is on view now at the Museum's Grand Central Gallery & Store:

#MetroCardMonday: 🎉 Happy 113th Birthday, @grandcentralnyc! #OnThisDay in 1913, the majestic Grand Central Terminal opened to the public after a decade under construction.

🚌 #SurfaceSunday: This 1997 @[email protected] #NYTMCollection training video was used to teach bus operators about #MetroCard transfers. MetroCard eliminated the need for paper transfers between buses and added the capability of free transfers between buses and subways. Do you remember paper transfers?

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, throughout February we’ll be highlighting inspiring African Americans in transit history. We begin with Granville T. Woods, a brilliant inventor whose legacy is still felt every day on the #NYCsubway. This 2004 #MetroCard celebrates Woods' achievements.

“Das war mal wertvoll” / That used to be valuable

I remember the early years of the MetroCard when people were grumbling about the loss of bus and subway tokens; now we can mourn the loss of the MetroCard as well. As of Jan 1, New York has ceased sales of the card as it switches to the mostly smartphone-based OMNY system, with the benefits of more convenience and heavier government surveillance. Brave new world.

👋 Goodbye #MetroCard! Today is the LAST EVER DAY of MetroCard sales. To mark this milestone, we enlisted the help of two #NYC transit legends. Thank you, Bernie Wagenblast and Charlie Pellett.

Why do ppl act like this type of sh!t is inevitable? 🤔Private equity and corporations made the decision to end this bc they can track you better with a different system. That's it. That's the only reason.🤷🏿‍♀️

Many years ago I used subway tokens (I think we still have a couple somewhere) then one day those newfangled MetroCards - which were part of my daily life until fairly recently. It's so strange to see them disappear.

🙀 #DidYouKnow the #MetroCard almost had a mascot called “Cardvaark”?!
What do you think? Should the @[email protected] have given Cardvaark a chance? Visit our new exhibit, "FAREwell, MetroCard" at the Museum in Downtown Brooklyn to learn more. Plan your visit at nytransitmuseum.org.

👋 As we count down to the end of #MetroCard, we’re sharing some of our favorite commemorative and limited edition MetroCards from the #NYTMCollection. In 2023, the @MTAinfo released these “Hip-Hop at 50” MetroCards.

I come down the stairs at the 44th entrance and these young women are dancing in place. “Shake it!” I say, “Shake it like you mean it!” and they clutch each other, laughing.
But my card is empty and we become grownup New Yorkers, using neighboring OMNI machines. Once my card is full, and I realize their music is still softly playing, I dance a bit as I retrieve my card. I Love New York.
