The OMNY system is arriving
at numerous subway stations
in the Bronx this month.
The MTA announced that
crews will install the contactless
fare payment system
throughout February at
stations on the #2, #5 lines
and the #6 line throughout
the Bronx. Once completed,
more than 180 subway stations
in the city will have
the OMNY program at turnstiles,
allowing riders to pay
for their ride with their chipequipped
credit cards or cellphones.
All subway stations and
buses in New York City are expected
to have the OMNY program
by the end of the year,
according to the MTA. The
OMNY system will eventually
replace MetroCards, which
are expected to go the way of
the subway token in 2023.
“The OMNY rollout remains
on time and on budget
and the rates at which people
are adopting it as their preferred
approach for payment
continue to exceed even our
most optimistic projections,”
said Al Putre, OMNY Executive.
“This month, hundreds
of thousands of our customers
in the Bronx will get to experience
the benefi ts of avoiding
the lines at their MetroCard
machine and paying with
a simple tap of their phone,
wearable device or contactless
credit card.”
More than 7 million payment
taps have been recorded
through the OMNY system
since it debuted last May along
the Lexington Avenue line in
Manhattan.
All OMNY readers accept
contactless Visa, Mastercard,
American Express and Discover
cards, as well as digital
wallets such as Apple Pay,
Google Pay, Samsung Pay and
Fitbit Pay.
Once all OMNY readers
are installed, the MTA will
roll out additional fare-payment
options such as unlimited
ride, reduced fare and student
fare passes. Customers
will also be able to make payments
with the OMNY Card,
available through the OMNY
app in 2021 and at retailers
throughout the city.
