The 30-Day MetroCard Challenge Update

With just under half of the time left on my 30-day Unlimited MetroCard Challenge, I’ve taken 38 trips, and I’ve hit the MTA’s $2 base fare. At this rate, my $76, 30-day MetroCard will average out to approximately $1 per ride. No wonder the MTA wants to raise the fares on these things. Follow my progress in the middle column.
