Starting in January, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will no longer sell MetroCards. While MetroCards will still be accepted after this, the transportation agency will phase them out over the course of next year. With the transition, the MTA said it expects to save at least $20 million annually in costs related to MetroCard production and distribution, vending machine repairs, cash collection and handling.
