Hacking Your MetroCard to $0.00

Earlier this month, Ben Wellington wrote a blog post about How Memorizing “$19.05” Can Help You Outsmart the MTA. A few days later, after the post went viral, the MTA responded by saying this is so there will be enough change in the machine for cash users and this will be addressed next year after the new fare increase. Ben suggested to us all to remember $9.55, $19.05, and $38.10 to get a MetroCard that will yield us a $0.
