Whatever Happened to ‘Net-roCards’? Barclays Transit Promise Disappears
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]

A broken Atlantic Yards promise? Now there's a shocker.
Barclays Center officials have quietly abandoned a proposal to offer reduced-fare MetroCards to Nets ticket buyers to discourage them from driving to the basketball arena.
...The MTA was tight-lipped on the deminse of the so-called “Net-roCards.”
“It was an idea that Forest City Ratner put forward that they are no longer putting forward,” said agency spokesman Adam Lisberg.
NoLandGrab: An idea that was put forward sounds like bait, and that idea being no longer put forward sounds a lot like switch.
