Read MoreTurnstile Swipes Messed Up?
Is anyone else having a real bitch of a time with the turnstiles the last few days? I feel like a complete moron.
It all culminated with today when I swiped so much that I lost my fare.
I’m hoping that the guy in charge of cleaning the MetroCard slots is on vacation or something. At my home stop, I have yet to swipe through on the first shot since last Tuesday.
I figured it was my card. Luckily, my card ran out on Thursday night, so I got a brand new one Friday morning. Same damn problem.
Today I nearly lost my mind. I swiped about 10 times, then out of nowhere the turnstile said that my card was “just used.” Yet, I still couldn’t push though.
I had to go to the damn booth and get them to let me in.
Subway maintenance cuts must be getting underway. Lovely.

I understand how irritating it can be. I have faced similar issues with some ATMs at my place. Its frustrating.
ReplyThose can be a real pain in the a*s
ReplyAre you going to be posting more often now?
Reply71st Ave on Monday it took each person before 6 swipes. For me just the 1. Not sure what that's about.
ReplyI'm really hoping to. It is tough finding the time these days.
I'd love to publish stories from other people too!

Replynice, I'll try to send of my stories to your email.
ReplyLol your life sucks. hahah. I find that hilarious that you had to endure that.
ReplyI think that you have one of the better sites in your niche and I check back often for new updates, best of luck with the site.
Replyits the same with the oyster card in the UK it just makes up prices every time
ReplyAny type of machine like that can be really annoying… once an ATM, that didn't have enough cash for some reason, took twice money from my CC and returned 0. I had to complain at the bank of course…
ReplyI hate it when that happens! The same thing recently happened to me on a ski holiday at the ski turn stiles…its really annoying – especially when theres a crowd of people behind you!
ReplyWow. Now that blows.
Replyalso the chip on the card is getting worst and worst, 10 years ago they were perfect! now after 6 months you have to swipe like 10 times
ReplyThis has happened to me, but usually when it says “swipe again at this turnstile.” You can ask the clerk in the booth to fix it, if 1) there is a clerk and 2) you had no additional money on your card, otherwise, how would you know that it had taken the money in the first place. I suspect this happens often and people just do not know it is happening, and no, it is not acceptable even at a minor error rate, as what is a minor problem for the MTA costs people real money. I bet the MTA would not tell you an occasional turnstile jumpis ok.
ReplyTHEY WILL GET WORSE AS THE TA WILL LAY OFF AAS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY CAN, THEY ARE REMOVING EYES AND EARS FROM THE SUBWAYS. CRIME WILL INCREASE BECAUSE THE CRIMINALS WILL KNOW WHERE THERE ARE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF EYES TO WATCH THEY DO THERE DEEDS
ReplyMore than one-quarter of all subway MetroCard swipes have failed since the MTA kicked off its fare-card program, according to a report by the city Public Advocate's Office.
ReplyThe trick here is that if you keep swiping the card on the same turnstile it will work as long as you are swiping slower with each time. Dont go to the next turnstile as it will automatically take your fare again.
ReplyWow.. that sucks
Replythe ones in london are useless
ReplyI agree the oyster cards in London are terrible, im sure they charge you different every day even though you take the same journey

ReplyI have problems with the turnstiles all the time. I don't think I have ever gotten through without having to swipe my card at least 2 to 3 times.
ReplyI´ve been reading your blog for awhile and also it never occurred to me to comment. Which is completely ironic, for the reason that I´ve spent a lot of time over the past few months studying what it takes to make people comment on my own website. Immediately after reading a couple of your posts I guess it´s controversial topics that stir people´s emotions to the point where they can´t just ´let it go.´

ReplyToday, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Replyit happens to me all the time! and sometimes they charge me but teh doors wont open
ReplyMy friend got a ticket for fare evasion on the NYC subway. It was bogus because the metro card malfunctioned and there was no machine nor ticket agent booth…. Not to mention her 7 year old had been swiped through on another card and was on the other side of the turnstile.
ReplyI’ve learned new things from the blog post. One other thing to I have recognized is that generally, FSBO sellers will probably reject anyone. Remember, they might prefer never to use your providers. But if you maintain a gentle, professional connection, offering support and staying in contact for four to five weeks, you will usually be able to win a business interview. From there, a house listing follows. Many thanks

ReplyThanks for your posting. I would like to say that the very first thing you will need to carry out is to see if you really need credit repair. To do that you must get your hands on a duplicate of your credit report. That should never be difficult, because government makes it necessary that you are allowed to receive one absolutely free copy of your credit report yearly. You just have to check with the right people today. You can either find out from the website with the Federal Trade Commission or maybe contact one of the major credit agencies specifically.

ReplyI have viewed that sensible real estate agents just about everywhere are starting to warm up to FSBO Advertising and marketing. They are noticing that it’s in addition to placing a sign post in the front place. It’s really pertaining to building connections with these vendors who at some point will become customers. So, while you give your time and energy to assisting these dealers go it alone – the “Law connected with Reciprocity” kicks in. Good blog post.
ReplyI believe that avoiding prepared foods will be the first step so that you can lose weight. They will taste very good, but ready-made foods include very little nutritional value, making you eat more in order to have enough strength to get over the day. For anyone who is constantly eating these foods, moving over to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more strength while having less. Great blog post.

ReplyThese days of austerity in addition to relative anxiousness about getting debt, some people balk contrary to the idea of utilizing a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise and also pay for any occasion, preferring, instead only to rely on a tried as well as trusted means of making repayment – cash.
