In Chicago 15 years ago when I got my mother a discount CTA card, it
took about a month for the request to be processed (she didn't need to
be there to get it done), but it was good forever after. It probably
works similarly here, so you probably have time to do the paperwork
before your visit.

Good guess, but too bad you didn't follow that link there you
quoted.

* * Sign Up for Reduced-Fare MetroCard

* * * * * Bring proof of age - driver's license, Medicare card or

So it's your recommendation that our 5- or 6-day visitors spend
several hours in Downtown Brooklyn first? Just _finding_ the MTA
building is a challenge.
