David Bowie MetroCards Available In Manhattan Stations

David Bowie branded MetroCards are now available at two Manhattan subway stations, featuring images from the Brooklyn Museum's new exhibit.

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — David Bowie branded MetroCards are now available at two Manhattan subway stations, featuring images of Bowie from the Brooklyn Museum's new exhibit about the icon, the MTA said.

Commuters can get the Bowie MetroCards, which feature five different images from the museum's Bowie exhibit, at the Broadway-Lafayette and Bleecker Street stations in Manhattan. There are 250,000 Bowie MetroCards available, the MTA said. The cards were created by the music streaming service Spotify.

Unfortunately for Bowie superfans, there's no guarantee of getting one of the special subway swipers: The Bowie MetroCards will be dispensed randomly at both stations' MetroCard vending machines.
