Speaking about the new of ID MetroCard and even from phones credit cell phones and smartwatch but what about disability of people handicap what's going to happen for them anyway that they already put money in the MetroCard of the ID MetroCard that pictures names and numbers bet you that you never see this one coming and what about of a brand-new of a MetroCard that this one we're never going to get expire. Something is for a new Revolution eyes that are white candy and ta-ku go to the company of Japan where there they have so many of different type of ID cards and people could use it and disability a MetroCard attic we're never going it's expired and even if they lost it Dad to call the company of the number and to get a brand new one but however one stead of if they lost the MetroCard and at that got it other set s MetroCard is 4 / you lost it in a third one right there BB like how to say emergency backup and then after that well one MetroCard is already dismissed and expired the other one is transferred to the new Metrocard and then after that only have numbers and even the names of types of different names or numbers safe and secure And finally a brand-new app Google Play Apple Stores and other different apps that could use it over transferred the world to take a picture that are for the brand new ID and then they lost it and then after that there that get a transfer to the new ID card take a picture on it and will be very fast and then the Lost ID card is going to be expired does it work and no one can I use it for the brand new ID card the lost it and take care of receive over brand new of a ID card for the MetroCard and then after that where the customers and many other people will be happy from New Yorkers and to everyone and specially speaking that MetroCard I hope I die. They could get one of those cover MetroCard but with the protector of the the MetroCard brand new ones and then for every different weathers band in the order that and then there would be happy that customer and even that this cover over to protect of the brand new MetroCard that is going to be like tapping it could be very possible anyway because I got so many idea that the tell you something about it and sometime that the video what I just saw it it's fine but sometime the video it missing something

It's have to SAVE MetroCard, because: 1. It is a single paying connecter betweem Subway and PATH. 2. How about the tourist without NFC credit cards? What they will do without MetroCard? 3. Transit between buses and subway with using MetroCard is Safer from information leakage. Because credit cards cannot change its owner. MetroCard only can change its owner.

Great video and clear explanation of how OMNY works. On your point at 6:05, if you are a tourist visiting from another country, you can avoid paying extra fees by using a credit card that is denominated in US dollars, such as Revolut. Just remember to convert any other currency on your Revolut card to US dollars before making a purchase, so you won't be charged any additional foreign transaction fees.

OMNY (One Metro New York) fare system is love at first sight. I am a New York trans plant living in Florida. I come to New York periodically to visit with family. During this time I take at least one trip to the city. For years I have enjoyed the convenience of MTA Etix on the Long Island Railroad. This takes technology to the next level as I can enter the subway the same way I pay for goods at a retail store or pay my check at a restaurant, using my smartphone or smart watch. I like the idea of entering the subway without having to pull out my wallet or even my phone. I certainly hope that other municipalities throughout the world adopt this new contactless payment system.

One thing to note for commuters who travel to NYC for work is to check their company's benefits portal and see if they have commuter benefits. Usually you can sign up for their version of a debit card that has pre-tax benefits and would be the better solution to Metro/OMNY cards where you just pay out of pocket.

I find it difficult coming from London where Oyster has daily fare capping, and travel card products you can buy on the card for a 7/14/28 day or up to a year period, whereas OMNY works on calendar week and the first 12 trips are paid. Oyster has also supported Contactless Payment Cards since 2013. Both the OMNY and Oyster system have been developed by Cubic, so the technology is there - why can't MTA just copy TfL's system wholesale.

I work 6 days a week, hence, I take 12 trips on the train every week, which my monthly metro card discounts. If I take extra rides on my day off or during the week, my rides are being being discounted. Looks like I will be paying a full $2.75 per ride from now on, AND giving the MTA access to my bank accounts. How convenient for them.

For tourists the Metrocard seems to be the better option, especially overseas tourists. Also making the OMNY card work for 7 days from first use would solve the problems for tourists arriving midweek for 7 days. Would the JFK and EWR air trains be included? What about LIRR? So could a tourist flying into JFK and using the Air train to get to the LIRR could use the same card?

New York finally is going contactless for public transportation. In Philadelphia as I use SEPTA and their contactless fare payment system is called SEPTA Key and can be used on SEPTA as the card is $4.95 plus add money into what is called a travel wallet and it costs $2 for a ride on the bus, trolley, and rapid transit plus you get one free transfer. But here in New Jersey we’re stuck in the 20th Century as NJ Transit you still pay or we still use tickets or passes, but we have an app where we could have our bus and train tickets on our smart phones. Wish that NJ Transit would get with the times.

***Tip for Tourists/Visitors:*** If visiting NY for a week and are arriving mid-week, purchase a 7-Day Unlimited Ride METROCARD instead of relying on OMNY fare-capping. As perfectly stated in the video, the OMNY fare-capping window begins Monday and ends Sunday. However, the METROCARD fare-capping window begins when you activate the card (e.g. can begin Wednesday and ends the following Tuesday) and is the better option.

Thanks for the video! I am a New York native but my family moved in 2018 before OMNY was a thing. I come back every year or so, but still use unlimited 7 day Metro cards and was hesitant to use OMNY because I wasn’t 100% sure of fare-capping until they started having those signs on the subway. After watching this I finally understand it fully but now I’m concerned about not being able to use the Metro card for midweek to midweek trips after it gets discontinued :/ I’m also more of a fan of the Metro card material than the OMNY cards because solid cards take up more room in a wallet/phone case while the Metro was flexible, compact, and brightly colored for easy locating. Of course paying by phone is easier but I feel an OMNY card is good to have as an emergency backup for a dead phone battery, lost wallet, etc.

Hello, i have two questions. 1. Is the omni still valid from monday to sunday or have they changed it so it can be used for free from wednesday to wednesday (or any other day of the week) after 12 rides. 2. I will be staying in Union City and I see that the 159 bus goes to Manhattan, is it covered by OMNY, will they charge me something extra? Tnx

Hi. Yes, the OMNY fare cap starts on the day you first tap and keeps track for the next 7 days.

As far as I know it's still in effect.

I am still not clear. Are you saying we can now just tap our credit card and go!

Hi there. Yes, if your credit card has tap-and-pay capability you can use it to pay for the subway.

Hi. Thanks for your video, very helpful. Can I buy a Metrocard at JFK airport and just put USD20 on it? Thanks in advance.

Yes. Metro cards can be bought at most subway entrance including the ones at JFK - specifically Jamaica and Howard beach stations.

Yo pague con mi targeta de debito en select bus y cuando se subio un inspector no supe como comprobar q pague y me dio un ticket, alluda x favor!

Lamento oirlo. La próxima vez puedes decirle que pagaste con una tarjeta de débito. El inspector debe tener un escáner de mano para verificar si usaste tu tarjeta para pagar. Aquí hay un tweet al respecto: twitter.com/NYCTSubway/status/1299767614034653185?s=20

Decepcion absoluta! Xq yo si le dije al inspector q pague con una tarjeta de debito, le enseñe mi aplicacion q tengo sobre mi banco pero x desgracia todavia no aparecia la prueba q yo pague (aparecio una hora despues) incluso me preguntaron q banco tenia , no me alludaron para nada , solo me bajaron y me dieron un ticket , pero muchas gracias x tu alluda xq para la próxima vez ya se q hacer.😘💞💖👌🎸🤘

So would a bank debit card work too? I see the VISA logo on the card reader there.

As long as your card has tap-and-pay capability (or NFC).
