Notes on Unlimited Metrocards
If you use the subway or bus more than 12 times during your stay, you should buy a weekly unlimited metrocard. However, be aware that you can only use unlimited metrocards at the same station once every 18 minutes. They will not work for getting everyone inside the station at once.
