MTA Alert

Don't try to use your ATM card to buy a MetroCard today. Even though a "system-wide" outage means that none of the machines are producing cards, your account is still being charged every time you swipe. The MTA says your account will be credited in two business days, but I bet there'll be a lot of people left busted after trying their card on three or four machines. According to reports, some stations have posted warning signs, but some have not.
