MetroCard vans make local stops

MetroCard buses and vans will make several stops in Riverdale and Kingsbridge during September, selling regular and reducedfare cards.

The schedule is as follows:

  • On Friday, Sept. 14, there will stops from 9:30 to 11 a.m., at 3880 Sedgwick Ave.; and from 10 a.m. to noon, at 21 Knolls Crescent.
  • On Wednesday, Sept. 19, there will be stops from 9 to 11:30 a.m., at West 235th Street and Johnson Avenue; from noon to 1 p.m., at Skyview shopping center, on Riverdale Avenue and West 259th Street; and from 2 to 3 p.m., at West 231st Street and Broadway.

Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may apply for the reduced-fare MetroCard at the MetroCard buses or may obtain an application from the vans. To apply for the card seniors must show photo identification proving they are at least 65 years old.

To be immediately processed, persons with disabilities must have a valid U.S. Medicare Card along with valid photo identification issued by the state or federal government. Disabled persons without Medicare cards must ensure that their doctors complete the physician's section of the application. After a review process, permanent reduced-fare MetroCards are mailed to qualified applicants.

For more information or to find other locations with scheduled MetroCard bus or van visits, call 212- METROCARD or go to the MTA's Web site at www.mta.info.
