NYC's plan to finally kill the MetroCard
New York City is preparing to join London in the transportation future.
Last week, the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced a $573 million plan to replace its nearly 25-year-old MetroCard swiping system with a modernized payment program modeled after London's. It will allow the city's over 1.7 billion annual riders to waive a phone or card across a sensor, as opposed to swiping a flimsy card through a reader.
The rollout of the system will begin in 2019. By 2023, the MTA plans to officially kill the MetroCard.
