A MetroCard for Your Thoughts

Do you like to complain about transportation in the five boroughs? Do you like free MetroCards? Then the MTA’s new plan to survey customers throughout the year might be for you:

The MTA is seeking regular subway, bus, and railroad riders or bridge and tunnel users to participate in periodic public opinion surveys for the agency. The surveys help the MTA better understand its customers’ opinions of existing service and priorities for areas for improvement. The MTA uses the surveys to help make decisions about allocating scarce resources to where they are most needed.

For every survey, the MTA will randomly select “several lucky customers” to receive their choice of either a free MetroCard or a free 10-trip ticket on the MTA railroad of their choice. Join up online here, and let them know the priorities people from our area have.
