Hi - I just saw some guy on e-bay is selling SPB metro tokens (which cost 12 Rubles each) at US$ 3.99 (plus shipping) and is claiming Metro tokens were discontinued last summer! Does anyone know if they really are phasing out tokens? If so I will go and buy myself a bucketful and start making 800%+ return like this guy!

Don't know if they are to be discontinued but renewable multi trip cards are becoming more popular. Maybe he's onto something.

I was there in august and they were in full use by then. I was actually quite happy with them. If I would have known they'd become this valuable I would have taken a suitcase of tokens back out of he country...
