MetroCard Bus, Van Coming To Queens

MetroCard buses and vans will make scheduled stops in Queens during the month of September.

Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may apply for the Reduced Fare MetroCard on MetroCard buses or may obtain an application from the vans. Seniors must present photo identification proving that they are at least 65 years old.

Persons with disabilities must have a valid U.S. Medicare Card (red, white and blue) along with a valid federal/state issued photo identification card in order to be immediately processed. Disabled persons without Medicare cards must ensure that their doctors complete the physician's section of the application. After a review process, permanent Reduced Fare MetroCards are mailed to qualified applicants.

Anyone can add value to their MetroCards or purchase pre-encoded MetroCards, including daily, weekly and monthly unlimited-ride passes. In addition, staff members are available to answer any MetroCard-related questions.
