MetroCard's Last Swipe: OMNY Takes Over
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
New York Citys MetroCard, a staple for over three decades, is retiring in favor of OMNY, a contactless tap-and-go payment system. OMNY, already used in over 90% of subway and bus rides, offers a seamless payment experience similar to buying coffee or groceries. The switch, set for December 31, 2025, will save the transit authority millions annually and provide unlimited trips after twelve rides. Despite some holdouts, the city is moving towards a more tech-savvy commute.
