MetroCard Bus, Van Coming To Queens

MTA New York City Transit MetroCard buses and vans will make scheduled stops in Queens during the month of August.

Senior citizens and persons with disabilities can apply for the Reduced Fare MetroCard on MetroCard buses or can obtain an application from MTA 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.
