NEW YORK (PIX11) – MetroCards will be fully phased out this year in favor of OMNY, according to the MTA.
OMNY has reached 1 billion taps since it was first launched in 2019. OMNY has been installed at all MTA train stations, buses and on the Staten Island Railway.
OMNY will also be installed on Metro-North and the Long Island Railroad.
Riders can tap their payment at the turnstile with OMNY, using their bank card, an OMNY card or their phone if they have the express transit card set up in their digital wallet.
