What's The Story
| As MetroCard became part of everyday transit life, riders needed a new way to buy and refill their cards beyond the traditional token booth. MetroCard Vending Machines were introduced in 1999, with a design by Antenna Design that used color to help guide customers through each step. The machines became a familiar part of subway stations and a defining object of the MetroCard era. |
