"Yes, you can pay for up to three additional riders on a single trip. However, only your first tap counts toward the 7-day fare cap. Additional taps are charged the full fare and do not apply to your cap. Similarly, if you have reached your fare cap, only the first tap will count as free. If it's your first time using a bank card with the OMNY system, you may need to wait about a minute before you can tap again."
"Most of the flooding you see on social media is the result of stormwater runoff into the subway system. We just updated our Climate Resilience Roadmap to describe how we are managing these intense rainfall events and other escalating impacts of climate change. There are some things we can do on our own that reduce stormwater runoff into the subway system. You might have noticed we've installed elevated subway stairs in certain locations to prevent the flow of water from the street into stations."
OMNY permits one payment session to cover up to three additional riders on a single trip, but only the first tap counts toward the 7-day fare cap; extra taps are charged full fare and do not contribute to the cap. If the cap has been reached, only the first tap is treated as free. First-time use of a bank card with OMNY may require about a minute between taps while the bank approves the transaction. Most subway flooding stems from stormwater runoff; measures include an updated Climate Resilience Roadmap, elevated subway stairs, and clearing catch basins, with broader capacity increases requiring partnerships with city agencies.
