    The New York City Subway

    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

    New York City's MTA Exposed!

    New York City's MTA Exposed! Joseph Battaglia [email protected] http://www.sephail.net Originally appearing in 2600 Magazine, Spring 2005 Introduction In this article, I will explain many of the inner workings of the New York City Transit Authority fare collection system and expose the content of MetroCards. I will start off with a description of the various devices of the fare collection system, proceeding into the details of how to decode the MetroCard©s magnetic stripe. This article is the result of many hours of experimentation, plenty of cash spent on MetroCards (you©re welcome, MTA), and lots of help from several people. I©d like to thank everyone at 2600, Off The Hook, and all those who have mailed in cards and various other information. Becoming familiar with how magnetic stripe technology works will help you understand much of what is discussed in the sections describing how to decode MetroCards. More information on this, including additional recommended reading, can be found in ªMagnetic Stripe Readingº also in this issue. Terms These terms will be used throughout the article: FSK - Frequency Shift Keying A type of frequency modulation in which the signal©s frequency is shifted between two discrete values. MVM - MetroCard Vending Machine MVMs can be found in every subway station. They are the large vending machines which accept cash in addition to credit and debit. MEM - MetroCard Express Machine MEMs are vending machines that accept only credit and debit. They are often located beside a batch of MVMs. MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority A public benefit corporation of the State of New York responsible for implementing a unified mass transportation policy for NYC and counties within the "Transportation District".

    • the Activation of OMNY Readers at the Queensboro Plaza Station in Queens Marks the Completion of the Line and the Halfway Po

    The activation of OMNY readers at the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens marks the completion of the line and the halfway point in the MTA's effort to activate OMNY at all 472 subway stations in the system. OMNY installation remains set to be completed by the end of the year at all subway stations and on all MTA-operated buses. A list of all subway stations and bus routes where OMNY is currently in use is at this link: https://omny.info/system-rollout In March, the MTA announced OMNY had surpassed 10 million taps. In 2021, the MTA will introduce an OMNY card at retail locations throughout the New York region. Also in 2021, the MTA will begin to install new vending machines at locations throughout the system. OMNY readers accept contactless cards from companies such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Following the completion of OMNY installation at all subway turnstiles and on buses, the MTA will introduce all remaining fare options, including unlimited ride passes, reduced fares, student fares, and more. Only after OMNY is fully available everywhere MetroCard is today, expected in 2023, will the MTA say goodbye to the MetroCard. The MetroCard was first tested in the system in 1993, debuting to the larger public in January 1994. All turnstiles were MetroCard-enabled by May 1997 and all buses began accepting it by the end of 1995. Tokens were sold until April 2003 and acceptance was discontinued that May in subway stations and that December on buses.

  • Money for Metrocards: How a New Card Fee Made Transit Riders Invest More and Lose More

    Money for Metrocards: How a New Card Fee Made Transit Riders Invest More and Lose More

    Money for MetroCards: How a New Card Fee Made Transit Riders Invest More and Lose More Meiping Sun * March 27, 2021 Abstract In 2013, the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) imposed a $1 card fee (surcharge) on new purchases of prepaid transit cards (MetroCards). Using a novel dataset with transaction-level card information, I show that the fee caused riders to put more money on new MetroCard purchases, particularly those in low-income neighborhoods and those who used cash or debit (rather than credit) cards. As a result, the net monthly outstanding balance of card deposits increased dramatically, with riders lending an extra $150 million, on an annual basis, to the MTA. Moreover, over $20 million of the annual increased balances were never redeemed and escheated to the MTA when these cards expired. The leading explanation highlights card carrying costs. I pose a structural model to calibrate the effect of a new card fee. The importance of card carrying costs may explain the prevalence of required minimum deposit amounts in the online or mobile prepaid services such as E-ZPass and Skype. These findings have implications for public policy designs and fee structures of prepaid services.
