Wait, how long has it been like this? Haven't lived in NY for a few years but they used to give you a nice round number bonus. This is the crappy kind of thing businesses do that governments should specifically not do nor need to do (trick you with dark patterns, force you to give a no interest loan/gift, etc.). And I should point out it's regressive. That $1.95 matters a lot to some people. Incredibly shitty, IMO.
- krschultz 12y agoI'm not convinced it is a giant ploy to screw you, I think it might be a hold over from before the last fair raise. I don't remember the bonus changing, but the fair changed.
- jrockway 12y agoHow are you being forced to give them a no interest loan/gift? If you add money to the card, they give you 5% extra. Good luck getting 5% out of your savings account. If you add only $2.50 to the card, then they receive no gift. The problem is waiting in line to add $2.50 to the card before every ride, which is why nobody does that.
