    I was just going to say the same as Arlen10 before me. To the KPCC-Radio reporter in the video: maybe when you filmed and posted this, you just didn't stop to realize that anyone, anywhere, could do a 'frame by frame' of this video, and commit fraud against you by obtaining your card #. I'm not trying to be mean or do anything but alert you. I highly suggest, (if you haven't done so already), cancelling the debit/visa card at your bank and getting a new one A.S.A.P.

    $1.75?! for one trip? 😀 That’s so cheap compared to NYC’s fare.

    • @sugarbooga8731
      @sugarbooga8731 7 років тому +1

      Nicole McP If it’s Pay-Per ride, the cost is $2.75 + $1 (card fee) so that would be $3.75, If you want a round trip then it’s going to cost $6.50 total. There is an option were you can get a single ride, but one sole ride will cost you $3.00, of course the good thing about this is you don’t have to pay that extra dollar, when you purchase a single ride ticket, however the thing about single rides is that you only have 2 hours to use your ticket before it expires and you can’t refill them with time or value. So essentially they can end up costing you more money in the long run.

      Unless a particular self service machine is out of cards, there should be cards in there to buy. $1 extra for the reloadable card.
