Covering the LoHud commute

Get your MetroCards here…and there.

July
16

Bus and subway riders can buy their MetroCards in the full-service MetroCard van as it makes its rounds in Westchester throughout the summer and into the fall.

The cards are good for Westchester’s Bee-Line buses and New York City’s buses and subways.

On the van, you can take care of all your MetroCard needs. Buy a new one, refill an old one or apply for reduced fare, if you’re 65 or older and have a qualifying disability.

It’s staffed by employees of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Westchester County Department of Transportation.

Here’s the schedule, courtesy of the Westchester DOT:
