“MTA staff will be at Customer Service Centers in subway stations, mobile sales vans, and Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad stations in every borough throughout the MTA service region,” the transit agency says.
They added that the sessions will “encourage dialogue with MTA staff, who will answer questions on the proposals, provide information about reduced-fare programs and raise awareness about the end of MetroCard sales and the transition to the more convenient tap-and-go system.”
