This collectible card is a rare MetroCard issued by the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) for test purposes only. It is dated November 1, 1993, and is marked as a trial transportation smart card featuring a magnetic stripe. The card is designed specifically for use in the New York City Subway system, New York, NY, and is intended strictly for testing the transit fare system rather than for regular passenger use.
The front of the card prominently displays the MTA logo and includes text referencing its trial status for subway transportation. The card's design incorporates a sleek and straightforward layout, emphasizing its function as a test Metro Transit Authority smart card. The inclusion of the magnetic stripe is consistent with early electronic fare card technology used in the 1990s by the MTA before the widespread rollout of standard MetroCards.
This collectible card holds significance as a rare piece of transit history from New York City’s subway system, representing a phase of transition to automated fare collection technology. It is widely sought after by collectors interested in transportation and urban transit memorabilia.
