Lee Goldberg on Instagram: "Reposted @abc7ny On January 6, 1994, New Yorkers were introduced to this mysterious thing called a MetroCard. We all carried subway tokens then, and while some people were excited about the new card, they needed lessons in how to use it! The anchor introducing the report is Diana Williams, and the reporter is Tim Fleischer. The MetroCard is now being phased out."

Before the MetroCard, the city moved on metal and exact change — with tokens and coins feeding turnstiles one by one.

The Metrocard, rolled out in 1994, was a magentic strip farecard designed as a technological improvement from tokens. It was. Paper transfers became much less needed, unlimited fares were introduced, and the burden of carrying a bunch of tokens was wiped away. The new farecard, however, also introduced a new form of hustling: bending the Metrocard for extra swipes. People, like Kiki shown above, would sell rides at or below the fare at the turnstiles of busy stations. The metrocard has been phas
