However, when I wrote about this feature in a prior post, several comments said that this feature wasn’t great because people who use a 7-day Metrocard would end up paying more by tapping for every ride. We’ve activated the “Express Transit” feature on our Apple Watch and iPhones and pay for our fares with just a tap. Sure, you still can use a Metrocard but eventually, they’ll go the way of the dodo bird.įor us, we love that we can use the OMNY system at all subway stations. Amazingly, the MTA was able to complete the transition at all subway stations and city buses ahead of schedule. The main difference is that Metrocards are based on a swipe platform and OMNY is a contactless system designed to be used with credit cards, phone wallets and wearable devices. The New York MTA has announced that they’re going to do away with the Metrocard system in favor of the OMNY payment platform.
