OMNY Fare System Schedule & Feature Update

[@PhantomThiefOfSports]

It has become the norm with the MTA when it comes to delays to almost everything they do. To see them try to speed up the process is nice, but i hope they don't have any more delays

[@Neville60001]

This is good to see that NYC's getting a full rollout of the OMNY system; it reminds me of PRESTO here in Toronto and Southern Ontario.

[@mood4eva98]

I’m glad MTA has decided to step in to make these changes to get things moving faster after the constant delays. It’s just unfortunate that OMNY wasn’t going to fully come with the commuter rails to synchronize with the full system like they’ve been advertising that for years

[@TSgotstolengoddamm]

the only thing that concerns me is buses having all door boarding will have numerous fare evaders but hopefully they have more ticket inspectors per stop so in theory people can just deboard the bus and tap their card to prove their payment before reboarding the bus

[@brooklynnavyvet9543]

I'm one of the people testing the OMNY card for Access-A-Ride. It started out fine and we got a lot of support.....AT FIRST. Now, there's issues with OMNY consistently paying the AAR fare. Sometimes I'll book a ride and O\MNY prepays ($0.00 due after I book), most of the time it doesn't ($2.90 due after I book). Most disappointing is NO ONE RESPONDS TO EMAILS and when you call, no one can explain why it happens. I'm not the only person testing this out that's having this issue. AS USUAL, THE DISABLED ARE TREATED LIKE 2ND CLASS CITIZENS.

[@DennisLora2001]

I never used that machine in the subway system before

[@liamtahaney713]

Was just in NYC on Monday for the first time in a few years. Was pleasently surprised with how convenient the tap on was, but ill be damned it blows my mind there is no discussion on fare capping like Numerous other systems all over the world. Would be very cool, and maybe FINALLY give NYC a day pass option....

[@TheSteakSammich]

A daily "fun pass" used to be a thing. Not sure why it was done away with. Supposedly OMMY does have a fair cap built in per the website. I don't know how it manifests in practice though.

[@stevenroshni1228]

There is weekly fare capping

[@TransitAndTeslas]

@@stevenroshni1228 Still need daily and monthly fare capping to make it worthwhile.

[@MirzaAhmed89]

@@TheSteakSammich MTA was losing money on it. They got rid of it way back in 2010.

[@MirzaAhmed89]

@@TheSteakSammich There is weekly fare capping with OMNY. In any Monday to Sunday period, you are only charged for a maximum of 12 rides; all subsequent rides are free.

[@goatiebaaproductions]

I like the payment methods. It isn't just with a card but with a cellular device as well. Furthermore, you can get updated on your balance. It's definitely a step up from where we were in our metro paying evolution. One thing I'll note is that if you are going with this method, you should probably have it where we are paying the same amount of money for the subway and bus as we are paying right now with the metrocard. It's a little suggestion I have for the payment. Make it that way for a short while until the new year comes in and then have us pay the regular amount of $34.00

[@kelmouse29]

I get the benefit for the unlimited MetroCard for students, the providers have told me that they're likely to roll out by the start of the academic year, meaning around this September you should see students moving onto OMNY

[@Da__goat]

Truly a NYC moment

[@jasonkaiser1179]

With OMNY I could take it or leave it. Really doesn't matter. Tap or swipe, it's all the same to me.

[@beagles1518]

Long term plan is to have unlimited omny card and system!

[@kaicanoll9685]

Super excited for OMNY coming to Metro North. And reduced fares would be great for everyone commuting from Marble Hill to Grand Central

[@koga115]

Hey I hope you're doing well!

[@MTATransitFanner324]

Why is New York taking so long with the OMNY machines and I still can’t keep track of my trips whenever I use the express bus! They really need to move a little quicker since the Metrocards are gonna go extinct by the end of the year and add OMNY on the LIRR and MNRR as soon as possible, why wait another 2 years. Thx Adams and Hochul for the delays and running being schedule. Also PATH should also use TAPP prepaid cards for people who don’t have a debit or credit card. I don’t so I would use a Metrocard. Thx for this video and keep posting more of OMNY

[@JONATHANZU]

So it’s finally revelation to be next year that the reduce fair omny card will be coming out

[@MarkBustos2]

I don't mind the news section. For the Bronx bus redesigned I prefer having the Bx5 & 5A (Local & LTD service) then having the Bx6 SBS being rerouted. The Bx5A operating from The Hub to Pelham Bay Park/Bay Plaza.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Bx6 SBS ridership to Hunts Point has not materialized so rerouting the SBS to cross the Bronx River would be more beneficial.

[@MarkBustos2]

@@TheRailLeaguer Yeah I understand. At that point maybe the MTA should've done Bx6/6A Local & SBS.

[@CR1Creative]

@@TheRailLeaguer I'm going a little bit off topic but the MTA could rebuild the viaducts for some elevated lines from there make them 4 tracks as well as stop consolidation especially in the Bronx

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@MarkBustos2 That might have also been unfeasible too. Quite honestly Hunts Point ridership hasn't materialized even after SBS was introduced on the route in 2017. Most folks from there are already off the bus at the Intervale Avenue station. By contrast, the core section of the Bx5 route to White Plains Road is a bit of a hike from nearest subway stations. Having the Bx6 SBS come down there instead of going to Hunts Point would allow for the SBS to truly stretch its legs and improve crosstown travel between both sides of the Bronx River.

[@CR1Creative]

​@@TheRailLeaguer Speaking of which is it possible to rebuild White Plains and Pelham to have 4 tracks as well as stop consolidating on both lines speeding up service I know that I'm going off topic but I wonder if rebuilding the viaducts is possible.

[@krystalstackhouse4134]

theres no full unlimited so omny is a loss for me

[@calvinkendrick851]

Most certainly looking forward for OmNY to exist on the NICE and Bee Line buses as well as the Metro North and LIRR. While this would make things more convenient, I’m wondering if the combo tickets between the Metro North and LIRR would be affected. 🤔

[@Scorpionovemeber]

Wya Brodie?

[@GeyshaCornielle]

Can you make a video how long are express line save all of the B division.

[@Thelastairbendy]

all door boarding wont work, left to their own devices passengers will not pay

[@TransitAndTeslas]

SF did and it sped the buses up. LA is doing it next. The fare evasion did go up but negligible, due to enforcement.

[@vktor5730]

@@TransitAndTeslasComparing SF and LA to NYC is crazy, the systems in those cities COMBINED are significantly smaller than NYCs public transit systems.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@vktor5730Not a valid excuse.

Cool video as always 😎 22nd thumbs 👍 The OMNY looks a lot easier than the metro card. I always have trouble using the metro card. I grew up using the subway tokens. I still have a few tokens that I kept to my collection for the memories. Have a wonderful week 😎👍

[@EndIessProductions]

Just swipe it’s not that hard 😭

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

What I don't get about OMNY is how it's going to impact out-of-state visitors who want to use the Subway. Are we going to have to download OMNY or get a special OMNY card or something?

[@txquartz]

The idea is you won't get a transit card and just tap your NFC card or phone directly

Why you not uploading?

Can you make video k train discontinued thanck yo

Omny suck when it comes to reduce fare Don’t work they say it’s working

[@EndIessProductions]

OMNY isn’t meant to make the subway less expensive it’s meant to look better

[@railfanner-MaxPlati]

Don’t also forget that COVID-19 delayed the process. If COVID-19 never happened, MetroCards would have origionally been phased out back in January 2023

[@MirzaAhmed89]

Stop blaming MTA incompetence on Covid.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

4:28 this is so irritating omggg. Edit: although it does make sense due to the fact that it would then make sense for septa to be compatible with Omni. In reality, it would make sense for NJT to accept both Omni and Septa Key card

[@redm91]

OMNY should be fully integrated to all commuter buses and rail in the NY Metro, INCLUDING PATH and Amtrak/NJT Doesn't need to be the primary form of payment, but I should be able to tap a card and go anywhere in the metro area

[@davidthaler7018]

Amtrak seems a lofty goal given that it’s national. If it’s integrated with OMNY, it seems fair that it be integrated with other tap-n-go systems in other cities.
