That is most certainly not the case! All MetroCard Vending Machines
owned by New York City Transit dispense both pay-per-ride and
unlimited MetroCards.

Hmm. Okay. I certainly didn't see any way to buy one - there was no
button for it that i could see. This was at various machines, including
one at 68th St - Hunter College.

Strange. All of the machines I've ever used have offered the
"Unlimited" option. Either you didn't notice it or the machines you
used were programmed wrong.

And my point about the six dollar change limit stands!

I won't argue with that!
