For example, with a pay-per-ride fare of $2.75 and a weekly unlimited MetroCard cost of $33 (as of October 2021), a passenger would still pay $2.75 per trip if they made 12 or fewer trips in a week; under the proposal, they would pay no more than $33 within a week, even if they made 13 or more trips.

[126] By 1997, the entire bus and subway system accepted MetroCard, [127] and tokens were no longer accepted for fare payment in 2003. [124] [125] A different fare payment system is used on the LIRR and Metro-North.
Now the only permanent MetroCard subway-to-subway transfers are between the Lexington Avenue/59th Street complex (4, 5, 6, <6> , N, R, and W trains) and the Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station (F, <F> , N, Q, and R trains) in Manhattan and between the Junius Street (2, 3, 4, and 5 trains) and Livonia Avenue (L train) stations in Brooklyn.
Starting in 1992, MetroCards made by Cubic Transportation Systems replaced the subway tokens that had been used as the subway's form of fare payment from the 1950s on; by 2003, the MetroCard was the exclusive method of fare payment systemwide.
