Ask the MTA | Express bus fares and MetroCard vending machines | amNewYork
Briefly

The article discusses the MTA's transition from MetroCard to the OMNY tap-and-go system, responding to common passenger queries. It explains fare policies for express bus transfers to subways, indicating that passengers can receive a discount under certain conditions. MetroCard vending machines are being phased out, with a deadline set for sales to end by 2023, pushing users towards the new OMNY system. Riders can still refill their MetroCards until 2025, but are encouraged to switch to OMNY for better management of their transit fare.
With Tap-and-Go or a Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard, you get one free transfer within two hours of paying your fare.
We will stop selling MetroCards by the end of this year... install OMNY card vending machines in their place.
