Unlimited-ride Metrocards can t be shared in practical situations. After an unlimited-ride Metrocard is used, it can t be used again in the same station or on the same bus line for approximately 18 minutes. This is to prevent a few things - making sure that people don t start selling Metrocard swipes (hey, I ll stand here and swipe you in, it s just a dollar), as well as making sure that unlimited-ride cards are used by only one person.In other words, each person should get his or her own unlimited card if you decide to get unlimited cards.Pay-per-ride Metrocards can be shared by up to four people (i.e. four swipes before a delay is triggered).
Damn ma if times is that tight I ll lend you $50, lol. A ride on the subway is like $2.25 or some s*** like that, and if your using it for transportation for the week do you really expect it to be used for the whole family...lmfao!!! If that were the case I d sell my car and buy metrocards and swipe people on all day long, becoming the worlds richest person overnight.PS: Also, I believe you could get arrested if a cop seen you wait 18 minutes to swipe a new person on, or at least a ticket for fare beating (evasion?), as again it is obviously intended for the use of one individual, not the masses.
Its $27 a person, which will come to a total of $108 for a family of 4. The card can not be shared, it has to be individually purchased.Good luck
$27 per person unless if you take turns using it with your family. Usually you need to wait 15 minutes if your using one unlimited MetroCard with the whole family.
MetroCards are sold on a per-person basis. The system is designed to detect and block repeated use of the same card.
