I think there something fishy about this guy. @Michael:

It's clumsy New Yorkers reaching for their cash and dropping their card. From my experience, the further one is from the subway, the more likely a found card has significant value on it. @FELICIA:

Of course she's exaggerating to some degree, she was in the NY Post. @Michael:

I have been picking up discarded cards for a long time and %5 is more realistic. Scroll down the right side of my blog www.chickenunderwear.com to see how much I find.

Most of the passengers are just too dumb and too lazy to refill their cards.You'd be surpised to see a lot of them don't know to even refill the card at all, they just toss them on the floor or stick it on the machines or the turnstiles They are many many more just like her out there doing the same thing, all types of people, some are also working people and then you have senior citizens, transit employees, the homeless and the swipers of course. She should have been a little more discreet about mentioning to the media that she has station agents who will transfer the money from about a dozen cards for her, in one transaction. Those agents can have a problem with management on that. The agent should have told her, look I'm really not supposed to be doing this, only 5 cards at a time, but I'll do you the favor, just keep your mouth shut about it, thank you.
