<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Singleride.jpg|thumb|175px|A SingleRide Ticket]] -->
The SingleRide Ticket (introduced to replace [[subway token]]s and single cash fares) is a piece of paper with a magnetic strip on the front, and with the date and time of purchase stamped on the back. They cost $3.25 for one subway or local bus ride, with one free transfer allowed between buses, issued by the bus operator upon request. SingleRide Tickets do not allow transfers between subways and buses.<ref name="mta.info"/> SingleRide tickets can only be purchased at MetroCard Vending Machines, which are usually located within subway stations, and expire two hours from time of purchase.<ref name="mta.info"/> Because of these limitations, SingleRide Tickets are not frequently used, having been used by only 3% of subway riders in 2009.<ref>{{cite web | last=Wilson | first=Michael | title=Sighting a Rare Breed at Subway Turnstiles: The Single-Ride Rider | website=The New York Times | date=March 27, 2009 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/nyregion/27single.html | access-date=October 9, 2017}}</ref>

Although the Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard is accepted on [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]], the regular SingleRide ticket is not. However, a PATH SingleRide ticket is available from MVMs in PATH stations for $3.00, valid for two hours and only on PATH. PATH also accepts 2-Trip PATH MetroCards, which cost $6.00 and are also valid only on PATH.<ref name="PATHfares"/>
