entire amount saved by getting the senior discount!

What are you talking about? The senior discount for Metrocard fares is
half of the regular unlimited card (except for the one day pass).

7-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard
Cost: $27, reduced fare $13.50
Good for unlimited subway and local bus rides until midnight, 7 days
from day of first use.

*If* they are going to visit any of those locations, while there they
could pick up the discount card. They lose nothing on going to those
sites and still pay half fare for all of the subway/bus trips they will
take for the week.


And the $13.50 saved is approximately equal to the Statue of Liberty
Ferry ticket, and a lot less than the South Street Seaport admission.
MoMA, Whitney, and Guggenheim all also ask $18-$20. (The Guggenheim is
pay-what-you-wish on Saturday evening.)


So? You are comparing apples and oranges. They can elect to go to any
of those activities or not. But if they are eligible for the discount
on the Metrocard, they still save half of their transportation fare for
their WHOLE visit.
