In case you thought New York wasn't moving quite fast enough for you, the MTA would like to speed things up a bit.

You still shouldn't run on stairs, or save time by not putting on your pants, but a new technology is being applied to MetroCards to speed up the turn-style process.

The MTA is considering replacing the often frustrating magnetic-stripe MetroCards with a quicker, more reliable technology, and will use the results of the trial to determine how best to proceed, transit officials said.

The new metro credit card/pay passes/smart card/key fob things will be available to "specially selected customers" on the 6 train between 125th Street and Bowling Green, and Jay Street/Borough Hall in Brooklyn and 23rd Street/Ely Avenue in Long Island City.

Everyone will still get a free $2 ride, but, sorry, no more free transfers to buses, which will not be equipped with the new readers.

So, these new credit card/FOB key things sound like lots of fun. They help people get gas and McDonald's faster — why not get on the subway more quickly. We guess the MTA doesn't have anything else to do besides think of better MetroCard technology. Like, figure out a contract with the TWU for example.
