About MTA Fare Buster Android App
Based on simple math, this app aims to help you add value to your Metrocard in a way that won't leave any leftover change after paying for your trips.
As of the time of this publication, the cost for a subway fare is $2.75, and when adding value to your card greater than or equal to $5.50, a 5% bonus is added, which is nice but can lead to uneven balances. Use this app to figure out EXACTLY how much to add to your card.
