MetroCard Bus Comes To Abbate’s Community Office Tomorrow Afternoon

Assemblyman Peter Abbate will be bringing the MTA MetroCard Bus to his Community Office, 6605 Fort Hamilton Parkway, tomorrow, October 29 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

If you are 65 years of age or older or have a disability that qualifies, you are eligible to receive Reduced-Fare MetroCard discounts (a reduced fare is half fare).

The MTA Reduced-Fare MetroCard is personalized with your name and photograph and works the same as a regular MetroCard. You can buy unlimited rides or you can pay-per-ride.

Reduced-fares are also available with any of the following forms of identification: NYC Department of the Aging ID card, Access-A-Ride ID card, Medicare card, or an MTA Reduced-Fare ID card (pre-1995).

You can apply for the Senior Half-Fare MetroCard and receive one right on the spot, provided you are the proper age (65 years and older) and have the appropriate forms of identification with you.

For further information, call Assemblyman Abbate’s Community Office at (718) 232-9565.
