Is true that if you trade in 100 used metcards at the train station they'll give you $30?

Question

I just heard this from my sis who heard it from her friend. I personally think it's just a load of baloney but am also slightly curious whether it MAY be real or not. Sounds too good to be true though!

Answer 1

Which city are you referring to?  In general, I'd say this is probably a myth: the lightweight cardboard farecards used by most cities are essentially worthless, and can't be cleaned for another customer or otherwise recycled.
