Fare capping sucks.
Not everyone starts taking public transportation on Mondays.
Also, what about the 30-day unlimited? Being charged $33 weekly you spend more than on a 30-day unlimited metrocard. FIX THAT!
I NEED THE 30-day UNLIMITED for the sane price of a metrocard.
Omny
4 weeks (28 days) = $33x4= $132
Then 2 days is $5.5x2= $11
Total $132+$11= $143
30-day Unlimited Metrocard
Total $127
With Omny You End Up Paying…
$16 EXTRA (per month if you commute daily)

Is there a way that you can check your OMNY card when the new machines get installed?

[@helenwoo6166]

Ho2 do you prevent fare beaters??

[@mrericarrezola]

We’ve been having that tap and go in La

[@TransitAndTeslas]

They have it NYC too, as well as Portland it’s nice. Oh and Arizona too, if you watch my video you see me use it.

"Ooh ooh we've been had our slave service long before them"

[@Neville60001]

We've also had this system (called PRESTO) here in Toronto for quite a while as well.

[@therealverdadero332]

They need more security and punishment to those who don’t pay in the buses, I’ve seen 80% of ppl using the busses who just walk in without paying….

[@thebootielover]

wOW. i THOUGHT THEY ONLY DID THIS ON THE wASHINGTON dc METRO. WELL DAYUM.

[@jcny08]

Don't do it its not worth losing your life on the NYC subway System.

[@suss832]

I don't trust it

[@Neville60001]

You have no choice: this system is replacing the MetroCard later in 2023, for good.

[@p.quinones453]

Only for OMNY users is discrimination based on income levels and makes employment of humans to process fares unnecessary so this will have a bad ompact on NYNYA jobs!
ALL RIDERS SHOULD PAY THE SAME REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OR HOW FARE IS PAID! Shame on MTA!

[@therealverdadero332]

Oh this is BS, is not discriminatory it’s tu put some fire under their a55 and make them to evolve

[@qjtvaddict]

No it’s not as metro card will be phased out and everyone has access to OMNY stop the dumb arguments

[@enochliu8316]

Then childs under 44 inches should pay right? They are riders.

[@mstrmren]

No, just use OMNY. Everyone has acess to it.

[@mrlegend4456]

I Disagree with your Argument 😤👎 it is Completely Wrong

[@heightsfynest6023]

2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

What does this have to do with OMNY?
