Senior-Citizen Travel
The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) offers lower fares for passengers 65 and over.
To qualify for age-related discounts, mention your senior-citizen status up front when booking hotel reservations (not when checking out). Be sure to have identification on hand. When renting a car, ask about promotional car-rental discounts, which can be cheaper than senior-citizen rates.
