That little thing in the back of the MetroCard is the monthly pass that most be shown to the conductor, or ticket collector, when riding the LIRR. Its combined with the MetroCard for those who take both the railroad in suburbs and the subway in the city.
I hope this information was very helpful. Happy Holidays.

You might be thinking about a monthly pass on the LIRR. It's not a metrocard. They pay a certain amount per month, the conductor will check to see if the passanger has a valid monthly pass.

As stated above, it's a monthly train ticket. I am almost certain to get the monthly ticket/metrocard combo you have to get your ticket through the Main-n-Ride program. You can put as much as you want on the metrocard, but they do expire. That may have changed but I doubt it.

On the back of the metrocard are instructions on how to use it. I have no idea why they would show that. I do know that some metrocards (employees, seniors) have photos on it of the card holder so they might be showing their pics to the collector.
