MTA Releases Limited Edition NBA All-Star MetroCard

The NBA is celebrating the All-Star Game’s return to New York with a new branded MetroCard touting the city’s two home basketball teams, the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets. The city last hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1998 and it will be the first year for Brooklyn’s, Barclays Center.

The run of the “limited edition” of only 600,000 MetroCards will be obtainable ahead of the 64th annual All-Star Game weekend on February 13 to 15. The 2015 NBA All-Star MetroCard is a treat for fans of New York’s two teams as both are featured in a design that references the New York City Transit subway map, the system’s iconic signage and the tile mosaics used in subway stations. The front of the card carries the motto for this year’s event: “New York Takes Center Court.”

If you’re lucky you may also spot a special 10-car subway train wrapped in a design featuring NBA All-Star Game players on the train’s interior and exterior. It is currently in service on the Line.

The branded MetroCards serve as a reminder that the MTA is the easiest way to get to events since the two game venues are served directly by the Long Island Rail Road and multiple subway and bus lines. Fans can get to Madison Square Garden by taking to 34 St-Penn Station, to 34 St-Herald Sq, the LIRR to Penn Station, or M4, M7, M20, M34, and Q32 bus lines. Barclays Center is served by the lines, to Lafayette Av, to Fulton St, the LIRR to Atlantic Terminal, or the B25, B26, B38, B41, B45, B52, B63, B65, and B103 buses.

“Both of the venues for this year’s All-Star Game events are on top of major transportation hubs for Long Island Rail Road and New York City subways and easily reached by several local bus lines,” said Paul J. Fleuranges, MTA’s Senior Director of Corporate and Internal Communications. “Whether it’s the bus, commuter rail or the subway, the MTA is the best way to get to the games without having to worry about traffic or parking.”

MTA New York City Transit is set to increase subway service after the events at Barclays Center to accommodate fans leaving the venue. LIRR customers leaving Barclays Center can take advantage of the late night train schedule, which is available on the MTA website.

The NBA All-Star MetroCards are available at station booths and MetroCard Vending Machines at 13 subway stations beginning this week, including:
