The MTA is set to retire MetroCards by the end of 2025, moving to the OMNY tap-and-go system. Janno Lieber, MTA chair, emphasized this transition as a necessary step towards modernizing fare payments. Customers will have at least six months to use any remaining funds on their MetroCards after sales cease. By fall, vending machines for OMNY cards will be installed across subway stations. The full transition to OMNY may take until late June 2026 to complete, marking a significant shift in New York City's public transportation fare system.
After 32 years, it's time to say goodbye to the MetroCard and go all in on the fare payment system of the future.
Passengers can purchase and reload an OMNY tap card or simply use their phone to tap and ride, making the commuting process a bit smoother.
