The director, Elliot G. Sander, said at a news conference that he would ask a task force examining the widespread flooding to also take up the issue of whether to grant a MetroCard refund.
“I think it’s an interesting suggestion, I think its worthy of our consideration,” Mr. Sander said when asked about a possible rebate. “We serve the public. We care deeply about the public. That’s why I’m here.” [nytimes]
WOW. I lost 300.00 that day and all they want to give back is a lousy 2.00?
Hmm. What I want is a refund when sit in the tunnel and traffic is crawling. Didn’t I pay to take a shorter route? If it turns out to be delayed why must I still pay?
