The MTA discontinued the use of tokens in the subway on May 3, 2003,<a href="#cite_note-3">[2]</a> and on buses on December 31, 2003.

In March 1990, the MTA board voted to allocate funding for the magnetic fare collection system.<a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a> Three months later, the New York state legislature voted to allow the MTA to proceed for its plans for the new system.<a href="#cite_note-12">[11]</a> By 1991, the token technology was becoming dated: almost all other transit systems were using magnetic farecards, which were found to be much cheaper than the token system.<a href="#cite_note-13">[12]</a> In July of that year, the MTA board approved the roll-out of the magnetic farecard system.<a href="#cite_note-14">[13]</a> The MTA opened a request for bids to furnish and operate the farecard system, and <a href="/wiki/Cubic_Transportation_Systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Cubic Transportation Systems">Cubic Transportation Systems</a> offered the lowest bid at $100 million.<a href="#cite_note-15">[14]</a> On October 30, 1992, the installation of Automated Fare Collection turnstiles began.<a href="#cite_note-:0-16">[15]</a> The farecard system was given the name MetroCard by April 1993.

When a card is purchased and fares are loaded onto it, the MetroCard Vending Machine or station agent's computer stores the amount of the purchase onto the card and updates the database, identifying the card by its serial number. Whenever the card is swiped at a turnstile, the value of the card is read, the new value is written, the customer is let through, and then the central database is updated with the new transaction as soon as possible. Cards are not validated in real time against the database when swiped to pay the fare.<a href="#cite_note-:7-53">[52]</a> The AFC Database is necessary to maintain transaction records to track a card if needed.

The older blue MetroCards were not capable of the many kinds of fare options that the gold ones currently offer. The format of the <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_stripe" class="mw-redirect" title="Magnetic stripe">magnetic stripe</a> used by the blue MetroCard offered very little other than the standard pay-per-swipe fare. Gold MetroCards allow groups of people (up to four) to ride together using a single pay-per-swipe MetroCard.

Although the PATH charges $2.75 as well, it does not offer any free transfers.

Unlimited rides cannot be applied to non-MTA transit systems such as the PATH or AirTrain JFK; to use these systems that require a value-based fare, riders can load money on their Unlimited Ride MetroCard by selecting "Add Value" when refilling at a MetroCard Vending Machine or at a station booth. Turnstiles for these systems will simply deduct the fare from the value portion of the MetroCard. 30-Day Unlimited and 7-Day Express Bus Plus Cards that are purchased using a credit, debit or ATM card from a MetroCard vending machine can be reported lost or stolen to receive a pro-rated credit for the card.<a href="#cite_note-66">[65]</a> Standard 7- and 30-day unlimited cards are accepted on MTA New York City Subway; non-express buses from either the MTA, NICE, or Bee-Line; the Roosevelt Island Tramway; and the Staten Island Railway. 7-Day Express Bus Plus is accepted on MTA express buses.

"Autogate" cards are issued to persons with mobility impairments and are accepted at wheelchair doors at selected stations. The card back is color-coded to indicate the gender of the card holder, and the card face is marked with "Photo ID Pass". Later issues of Senior Citizen and Disability MetroCards are uncolored (all white with black printing on back with photo, gold face remains unchanged) for gender neutral requests. Temporary replacement cards are purple with no photo, or blue for Autogate MetroCard holders, and the value cannot be refunded if the original card is stolen or lost. A Senior & Disabled Reduced-fare EasyPay (automatic refill) card is also available. This type of card is accepted everywhere the Pay-Per-Ride or time-based MetroCard is, with two exceptions: it is not valid on the PATH, and it is not valid for ticket purchase on New York City-bound LIRR and Metro-North trains in the morning. Reduced-Fare MetroCards (in any variety) are also not accepted at PATH stations.

At times, this may involve individuals charging to swipe another commuter into the subway system at a discount below the official fare, either by using an "unlimited ride" MetroCard, or by manipulating a spent MetroCard to obtain an extra, unpaid ride. A 2004 press release from New York State Senator <a href="/wiki/Martin_J._Golden" class="mw-redirect" title="Martin J. Golden">Martin J. Golden</a> claims these behaviors cost the MTA $260,000 a year.<a href="#cite_note-162">[148]</a> So-called 'swipers' reportedly may secure customers by maliciously damaging the coin and bill acceptor mechanisms of metrocard vending machines <a href="#cite_note-163">[149]</a> Nearly half of broken vending machines were in Manhattan, and the MTA spent $26.5 million on MVM repairs as of 2017.<a href="#cite_note-Stewart_2018-164">[150]</a> An 18-minute delay between uses of an "unlimited ride" MetroCard at any given station, and the expense of unlimited ride MetroCards, have historically limited their use for selling swipes. More commonly, "swipers" use a technique which involves bending a spent MetroCard in a precise way that then allows a further use of that MetroCard when swiped and unkinked according to a specific procedure at a turnstile.<a href="#cite_note-:7-53">[52]</a> Swipers employ this procedure to sell discount entry to the subway; some riders simply use the technique to garner free subway entry themselves. The bend purportedly damages the magnetic stripe on the MetroCard which indicates it no longer has value, prompting the turnstile reader to defer to a back-up field which indicates that the metrocard has one remaining fare.<a href="#cite_note-:8-165">[151]</a> When the technique was discovered, it could be performed an unlimited number of times with the same MetroCard.<a href="#cite_note-166">[152]</a> However, a software correction soon limited the technique to just once per used MetroCard, in which a turnstile computer which had deferred to that "backup" field would require the MetroCard be swiped additional times through the reader/writer before granting entry so any lingering indication of value could be deleted from the card, making it impossible to manipulate a given MetroCard in the same way once again.<a href="#cite_note-:7-53">[52]</a> Criminal charges leveled against those using this bent-MetroCard technique have included petit larceny and, in a state law introduced specifically to target swipers in the year 2006, with "unauthorized sale of transportation services." As early as 2001, however, police and prosecutors began to charge people bending MetroCards to seek free rides (either to sell, or for personal use) with various forms of forgery.<a href="#cite_note-167">[153]</a><a href="#cite_note-Stewart_2018-164">[150]</a> While misdemeanor forgery charges have been used in a number of jurisdictions, the <a href="/wiki/New_York_County_District_Attorney" title="New York County District Attorney">Manhattan District Attorney's Office</a> championed felony forgery charges for those in possession of manipulated metrocards, including "criminal possession of a 'forged instrument' in the 2nd Degree", a felony.<a href="#cite_note-:9-168">[154]</a> A representative of that office successfully defended the charge to the state's highest court, the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Court_of_Appeals" title="New York Court of Appeals">New York State Court of Appeals</a>, in a case decided in 2009.<a href="#cite_note-:8-165">[151]</a> Critics have argued, however, that the court's decision is based on an incomplete—and possibly incorrect—understanding of MetroCard technology, calling to question the status of a bent metrocard as a "forged instrument". The MetroCard technology has no public documentation, and has never been made available to criminal defendants who might dispute claims that a simple bend to a MetroCard alters its data as read by a turnstile computer in the way claimed by Manhattan prosecutors. It is unclear, for example, why a bent MetroCard cannot be used to obtain an unpaid ride on a New York City bus if simply bending a MetroCard can actually alter how it is read by a subway turnstile computer as prosecutors claim.<a href="#cite_note-:7-53">[52]</a> One researcher has argued that a bent MetroCard must be subject to further procedures in order to be seen by the turnstile computer as legitimate, which requires both concealing data from the turnstile computer with a bend, as well as having fresh data written to the MetroCard by the turnstile computer itself. Because a bent MetroCard will not actually appear legitimate to a turnstile computer without further steps to allow the turnstile computer to write that fresh data, this casts doubt on the claim that a bent MetroCard – often cited as evidence in the prosecutions of swipers – actually constitutes a "forged instrument" as defined in New York State law.<a href="#cite_note-:9-168">[154]</a><a href="#cite_note-169">[155]</a> A $1 fee on new MetroCards imposed in 2013 significantly curtailed the bent-MetroCard form of selling swipes. The fee motivated riders to keep and refill their existing MetroCards, undermining the vast supply of discarded spent MetroCards from which swipers previously drew as their stock-in-trade.<a href="#cite_note-:7-53">[52]</a> Nonetheless, people continue to sell swipes of bent MetroCards which have been discarded.<a href="#cite_note-Stewart_2018-164">[150]</a> Swipers continue to be prosecuted under forgery laws, according to research published in 2019.<a href="#cite_note-170">[156]</a> The MetroCard has resisted digital duplication through software. The MetroCard has a magnetic stripe, but both the track offsets and the encoding differ from standard <a href="/wiki/Magstripe" class="mw-redirect" title="Magstripe">Magstripe</a> cards. It is a proprietary format developed by the contractor Cubic. Off-the-shelf reader/writers for the standard cards are useless to read from or write to MetroCards without mechanical modification and custom software. Self-identified hackers have had success decoding MetroCard data by treating Metrocard contents as sound, and converting its contents to binary using a computer sound card, inferring the role of data fields by comparing MetroCards with known properties, and developing custom Linux software to decode MetroCard data.<a href="#cite_note-171">[157]</a> Moreover, MetroCard data has been duplicated to other media, also by treating it as sound, using an eight-track tape player. While duplicates may be usable to enter the subway in the short term, they are likely to be invalidated after the AFC database discovers imbalance between fares purchased for a MetroCard with a certain serial number, and fares used from one or more MetroCards bearing that serial number.<a href="#cite_note-:9-168">[154]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Limited_editions">Limited editions</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=MetroCard&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Limited editions">edit</a>]</div> Over the years, the MTA has issued limited-edition MetroCards in honor of certain events, people, or structures.<a href="#cite_note-:4-172">[158]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Back_side_designs">Back side designs</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=MetroCard&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Back side designs">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg/220px-DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="350" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg/330px-DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg/440px-DLJ_direct_metrocard_ad_2001.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="2442" /></a><figcaption>2001 MetroCard with corporate advertisement on reverse</figcaption></figure> For much of the MetroCard's history, images were printed only on the back side of MetroCards.<a href="#cite_note-:5-173">[159]</a> These have included cards with the <a href="/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty" title="Statue of Liberty">Statue of Liberty</a>, the <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_bid_for_the_2012_Summer_Olympics" title="New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics">New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum" title="Solomon R.
