Take on the MTA sneaky money making ploy

Let's put this factoid down as things I am not at all surprised at.
The NY Times reported that the MTA is making nearly $100 million off
of unused metro cards. Between all those $0.20 balances, tourists and
lost cards, they are just owning this secondary market. I have said
forever that it is time to put metro card machines on the platforms,
to let customers use the time they are waiting to refill cards but
since nobody listened people are all stuck with a hundred cards in
their bags with really small amounts on then and that is just how the
MTA likes it.

Hope somebody brings this up the next time the MTA tries to raise fares.
