Replacement of MetroCards with OMNY system won’t happen till 2025, MTA officials admit
The replacement of MetroCards with the MTA’s futuristic OMNY system is being kicked down the road yet again, transit officials admitted Monday.
System-wide implementation of OMNY — the tap-to-pay successor of the iconic yellow fare cards — is still taking longer than expected, MTA officials said at a board meeting.
“We’re not setting a drop-dead date for pulling back on MetroCard,” MTA chair Janno Lieber said.
