New York City Launches David Bowie Subway Cards

David Bowie is the new face of New York City’s MetroCards. Brooklyn Vegan reports that the new Bowie MetroCards are now available at Broadway-Lafayette station, with the entire Broadway-Lafayette station being transformed into a tribute to the late musician. Ads for David Bowie Is, which is currently taking place at the Brooklyn Museum, and Bowie’s catalog on Spotify, the streaming service is also a sponsor of the exhibit, are plastered all over the station along with posters of Bowie’s face, installations making use of the station’s architecture, and a “David Bowery” street sign. There is also a giant mural outside the station. At a cost of $6.50, the new MetroCards reportedly have a two ride minimum. Last year, the Metropolitan Transit Authority introduced Twin Peaks subway fare cards in homage to the David Lynch cult show, along with another Supreme-branded card. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
