Do metro cards expire?

Question

In NY, do the train metro cards ever expire?

Answer 1

YEAH, LOOK ON THE BACK!

Answer 2

yes, it's on the back of the card

Answer 3

From the MTA NYC Transit website:

"Whether Pay-Per-Ride or Unlimited Ride, every MetroCard has an expiration date. The date is located at the upper left corner on the back of the card. The expiration date is usually about one year from the date of purchase.

If your Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard expires, you have two years from the expiration date to transfer any remaining money to a new card. Bring your expired card to any subway station and ask the agent to make the transfer."

I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck
