"For some years now, subway and local bus customers have been taking advantage of the promotion where riders who pay for 12 trips in a seven-day period automatically ride free for the rest of the week. That program is now here to stay and starting in January, we'll be running a similar pilot on express buses with a $67 per week fare cap."
"This expansion of farecapping means the 7-Day, 30-Day, and Express Bus Plus Unlimited Ride MetroCards will be phased out, since they no longer offer substantial savings. But customers who like to budget still can by pre-loading funds onto an OMNY card for unlimited travel. But unlike with the MetroCard, unused funds will roll over. This way, nobody's leaving anything on the table. We're not interested in taking your money for unused rides."
OMNY will fully replace the MetroCard and expand farecapping across services. Subway and local bus riders who pay for 12 trips in seven days ride free for the rest of that week, and a similar pilot for express buses will implement a $67 per week fare cap starting in January. Legacy 7-Day, 30-Day, and Express Bus Plus Unlimited Ride MetroCards will be phased out because they no longer provide substantial savings. Riders can pre-load funds onto OMNY for budgeted travel, and unused OMNY funds will roll over. OMNY adoption exceeds 75% among subway and bus customers.
