Don't Worry Hillary, MetroCards Won't Be Around For Much Longer

Just like flossing and answering your emails in a prompt and orderly fashion, successfully swiping a MetroCard on the first try is a challenging task, and still society expects some of us to complete these tasks nearly every day.

But perhaps not! According to the New York Daily News, on Wednesday the MTA will submit paperwork formally requesting innovative, contact-free ride payment methods from any company or business with creative solutions to spare.

Imagine the possibilities. Practically, within the next couple of years we’ll probably be downloading the L Train app and flashing our phones—if those even exist anymore—to get through the turnstiles. Counterpoint: rechargeable MTA key chains sound kind of dope. Anything but the MetroCard.
