Hmmm, you will need to ask the operator (bus company) who issued the metro-card whether or not the pass can be transferred.
MetroCard - New York City - was created in 1994.
A MetroCard is a faster, easier way to pay for public transportation in New York City. The MetroCards are available for purchase in New York at MetroCard vending machines, Subway Station booths and neighborhood Merchants.
You can urchase a $4.50 pay per ride (regular fare) MetroCard or a 7-day unlimited ride MetroCard for $29 from any Hudson News stand at the airport or from the MetroCard Vending Machines located within the airport terminals.
If you mean the turnstiles to enter the train system, then you will need a MetroCard, which can be obtained at a booth or a MVM (MetroCard Vending Machine).For operating the MVM, the instructions are simple: just tap on screen. Once started, you will be asked to choose a language that you understand, then you can choose MetroCard. If you do not have one you can obtain one for an extra $1 on top of the amount you're charging to it. If you do not plan on using your MetroCard every day for a full week or a month, then you won't need a Unlimited card.
4 rides round trip
5 rides with $1.70 left over
The cost of a weekly Metrocard in New York City is $33. It allows for unlimited rides on the subway and local buses for a period of seven consecutive days from the first use.
No, you will need a regular metro card to transfer between systems.
The subway is the best way to get around Manhattan. The bus is slow and the routes are confusing (plus, you must have exact change or a Metrocard with you, because there are no Metrocard machines at bus stations, like there are at subway stations), and cabs are very expensive. For subway directions, see the Related Question below.
It can get ruined depending on the metro card's warpness. Did the card get warped at all? If not, you can still use it at the turnstyle.
Prices vary depending on whether you purchase a MetroCard with multiple trips on it if you're buying a single ride. Standard price: $2.25 ($2.50, if single ride). Discounts are given when you put $10 or more on a MetroCard. For a complete list, visit the MTA's web site.
