MTA partnered with the Metro Arts Commission, which commissioned six artist-designed transit shelters are placed along the new 28th/31st Avenue Bridge.[4][5]
The MTA was the only transit agency in the country to implement payment with credit card at the fare box. That proof of payment approach was discontinued in March 2009.
