Description

New York Citys subway system is set for a major overhaul starting January 1st. Say goodbye to MetroCards and hello to OMNY, a new contactless payment system that allows users to tap with their smartphones, smartwatches, or even debit/credit cards. While many are excited about the convenience, others worry about potential glitches during the transition. The MTA expects this change to save them $20 million annually and has been testing OMNY in stations for years. Officials urge commuters to set up OMNY accounts online or at machines to avoid lines and enjoy a faster, contactless commute. Checkout Solipillow.com
