Senator Gianaris Brings MTA MetroCard Van to Astoria Houses and Big Six Residents
September 30, 2015
(Queens, NY) – Senator Michael Gianaris partnered with the Metropolitan Transit Authority to bring the MTA’s MetroCard Van to residents in Astoria Houses and Big Six Towers. The MTA MetroCard Van enabled residents living in areas without a nearby train station to access a variety of services only available at MetroCard vending machines which are primarily located at subway stations.
“The MTA Metrocard Van enables residents who lack consistent access to these services, to remove a major transportation obstacle. I am pleased to help provide these services to those who need them and ensure their commute is that much easier.”
The MTA’s MetroCard Van was available to the residents of Astoria Houses and Big Six Towers on Tuesday, September 29th.
