Is there a difference between an Express MetroCard and a non-Express MetroCard?

Accepted answer

The "Express" here is for express buses, which serve parts of the "outer" boroughs that are not well served by subways. These buses have a higher fare.

Express trains in the subway system do not have a higher fare. Your fare card is checked when you swipe it in the turnstile to enter the system. Once you're in, you're in. You can stay as long as you like and ride as many trains (express or otherwise) as you like.

Why didn't you just ask someone on the platform? You would have learned very quickly that you could take the express trains.
