I Just Hate Swiping the Metrocard

 

Don’t you just hate it when you swipe the Metrocard and you get the message asking you to swipe again?  It happens to me all too often.  You swipe again and you get the same message.  Sometimes it says “swipe again at this turnstile.”  I believe that dirty Metrocard readers are the reason for this.  On several occasions I have lost a fare when this happens.

My request of the MTA is to clean the Metrocard readers regularly.
