Metrocard Van Coming Apr. 2

March 27, 2012 – 1:40 pm

Need to refill your Metrocard? We have good news for you. You won’t have to go to an R train station to refill the card. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metrocard van is coming to Bay Ridge on April 2.

State Sen. Golden has arranged for the Metrocard van to be parked outside his district office at 7408 Fifth Ave. for two hours, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., to assist the needs of subway and bus riders.

You can buy a new Metrocard, refill your old one, or if you are a senior citizen, apply for a reduce fare card. Metropolitan Transportation Authority workers will be on hand to answer any Metrocard-related questions you might have.

For more information, call Golden’s office at 718-238-6044.
