Conductor
While getting off the MARC yesterday, my train's conductor mentioned to me in passing that MARC is seriously considering discontinuing use of 10-trip tickets in the very near future. Apparently there's been a serious problem with people replacing the "chads" in punched tickets, and to save a lot of headache (and money), they're considering just limiting ridership to Monthly, Weekly, and Single-Ride.
I can understand their position, but at the same time, the 10-trip has become invaluable to me on weeks where I'm on business travel; I'll purchase weeklies for the other weeks of the month, but use the 10-trip to fill in the gaps on the week that I'm partially out of town.
I guess our best route is to just write MARC via the MTA feedback page, which I'm going to do now.
Just wanted to throw this out there in case someone else knew more than I do.
