The green kinds thats for students.
The school you attend issues them based on the grade you are in and the distance between your house and your school. You cannot apply for one independent of your school. And you cannot apply for one as a visitor. They are only for elementary, middle and high school students. Not for college or beyond. If you go to high school in NYC and you think you are entitled to a student metrocard, ask your guidance counselor.
Depends on school grade, you get Student MetroCard.Student MetroCard issued by New York City Board of Education is only allowed to be used on Metropolitan Transport Authority s Bus, Subway, Staten Island Ralway including Roosevelt Island Tramway operated by Roosevelt Island Operation Corp.Student MetroCard issued in Nassau County is only accepted on Long Island Bus uses only.Student MetroCard issued in Westchester County is only accepted for Bee-Line Buses only.
how i remember it is, if you live a certain distance from the school you have to go to the main office and ask them if your eligible for a student metrocard , if you are, they will give you a form you have to fill out and when its completed you will receive a card within a few days. What you can do while your waiting for the metrocard is, ask the school for a letter that informs the bus driver your waiting for a card, that way you wont have to pay while waiting for the card. Since this happen to me you, should keep in mind that you only have 3 rides in the card, each ride gives you one transfer, so if you use it up your card is done for the day and even if you dont use up your rides after a certain time it will stop working mines would stop working at 7 o clock or 6 cant remember. it tells you what time it stops at the back of your card, and it doesnt work on weekends, thats from my experience i had to learn the hard way the rules to this card. sorry for the long answer Hope i helped ^_^
If you attending public or private schools in the 5 boroughs of New York City, Nassau or Westchester Counties, you will need to go the principal s office and request for one. The card is distributed every school year and you only get two cards per year, so try not to loose it or damage it.Good luck
