Ask the MTA | Unused MetroCards, fare capping and more  amNewYork
"While sales have ended, MetroCards are still an accepted form of fare payment, so you can continue to use them until the expiration date. But if you'd prefer to switch to OMNY right away, you can transfer the remaining balance to your OMNY card at any MTA Customer Service Center or mobile sales vehicle. There are 30 CSCs systemwide that are staffed 24/7 by New York City Transit station agents who can assist in these transactions."
"If you ride express buses, your fares will be capped at $67 in a seven-day period for subway, local, and express bus rides. Once you hit that ceiling, you'll be able to ride free for the rest of the cap period. If you spend less, you only pay for the rides you take. Make sure to tap with the same card or device every time to get these benefits."
"As part of the fare changes that went into effect last week, if you repeatedly buy or activate your mobile ticket on the train, an $8 surcharge will be added to your account after a series of warnings. You can pay this fee before or when you buy your next ticket, but avoiding it is easy just activate your mobile ticket before you board."
MetroCards remain accepted until expiration, and remaining balances can be transferred to OMNY at any MTA Customer Service Center or mobile sales vehicle. Mobile sales vehicle schedules are available on the MTA website. Fare capping for subway, local, and express buses limits charges to $67 per seven-day period; after reaching that ceiling, rides are free for the remainder of the period when using the same card or device for every tap. On the Long Island Rail Road, an $8 surcharge is added after repeated onboard mobile-ticket purchases or activations following warnings; the surcharge can be paid with the next ticket purchase and is avoided by activating tickets before boarding.
