MetroCard Retires, OMNY Takes Over NYC Subways
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
New York Citys MetroCard, a subway fare system since 1994, is retiring in 2025, making way for OMNY, a contactless payment system. OMNY, already used in over 90% of subway and bus trips, allows users to tap their credit card, phone, or smart device to pay fares. The MetroCard, once resisted by New Yorkers, is now being phased out, with OMNY offering weekly fare caps and saving the transit authority millions in card costs. Some users, like 70-year-old Ronald Minor, are finding the transition challenging, but the system is expected to become the norm. Checkout Solipillow.com
