Totally lame Q but here goes: My metro card has an odd number balance always. I guess I just eat the dollar, right? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

But don't you buy in increments? Not sure you can add just a dollar...? [ Reply | More ]

Yes you can. I've done it before. You don't have to buy the $10 or $20 increments - you can put on any value you want - you just don't get the "bonus" dollars [ Reply | More ]

Add $20. It will register as $23. [ Reply | More ]

23 is still odd. a ride costs $2 so the balance should be even. [ Reply | More ]

Just add a dollar! This problem isn't new - if you ever used your metro card at JFK airtran or over the holidays when they had rides for $1, you would have an odd number. Add a dollar at the vending machine. [ Reply | More ]
