Will be taking DC to kindergarten by subway in the fall. At what age do DC need to pay a fare? I still have her go under the turnstiles. Is that wrong? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

that is totally wrong. Why post if you don't know the answer. 44 inches. It's by height, not age. Most K kids do have to pay, but my 6 1/2 year old just hit 44 inches, so it really depends on the kid (and, btw, no one has said anything yet about her paying. It happens more often on the bus b/c the bus driver is right there). More importantly, if you live more than a mile from the school, your child can get a free MTA pass. If you live more than 1/2 mile but less than a mile, your child can get a half fare pass. [ Reply | More ]

apparently there's a height where they're supposed to pay, but most schools give a free metrocard to elem students if they live more than a mile away - good for buses, not sure about subways. At any rate, I didn't start paying for my kids until they were around 3rd or 4th grade. [ Reply | More ]

Are you sure it's 44 inches? I thought it was 47? Some buses have a line so maybe you can see if your DC is below it. [ Reply | More ]
