Lol same

Same I’m 20 & had to watch this 💀

Guess we are not young enough? O.o

Same and I still need help

Young people are the boomers IT support

Young people are now, the new Generation Z. 👍🏿😀

I’m dead lol

🗣🗣🗣Loudly LMAO!!!

I know more about tech than most young people I’ve met.

I think they are working on buses where it is used more often during rush hours. But soon you’ll have access to OMNY in Queens Buses

Queens appears to be up next in terms of bus installation.

My debit card from Capital One somehow used to work from 2020 all the way to 2022, but now it no longer works. Only my Credit Cards. 🤦‍♂

can i guess the race of the bad attitude attendant?

Huh?

@@TheRailLeaguer look at any of MTA’s other apps and you’ll understand

@@justchristolin5076 They all work. The trains work as well. They always show up in time, with some residual delays.

@@TheRailLeaguer ??? when express trains stop for 5 minutes defying its purpose, that's not "they work". They move at some point, which is different

@@burns83 Really?

No

Thanks for telling us what's going on in Boston. That's cool.

Yes, there will be. See the omny website for more details.

I don't know if they've talked about doing fare capping, but if they were to do that, that would be phased in 2023, when MetroCard is phased out for OMNY. As for having weekly and monthly unlimited passes, they've talked about having all the features of MetroCard on OMNY, so you'll still have that. They're not doing it right now because the majority of stations don't have OMNY, why would they have an unlimited pass that works for some stations and not others? I don't know if they'll have disposable transfers on OMNY, maybe only on buses, and maybe just local and limited ones, but this is very much speculation. I'd assume they'd decommission the SBS sidewalk kiosks, so the only place you can use coins to get on is the local / limited bus, as well as at vending machines / booths in stations when they roll out, but I have no idea if they had said anything about that, and again, very purely speculation. As for refilling cards and getting cards, they're going to have cards available at vending machines when they roll out. Also, they do have the current backbone of MetroCard retailers as well as they said they were going to have it at CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, and other major drugstores utilizing the gift card model, and they said they were going to have OMNY cards available here before the vending machines. As for which mass transit companies who will support OMNY? Right now it's whoever currently uses MetroCard right now, NYCT (buses and subways), NICE, PATH, Roosevelt Island Tramway, AirTrain JFK and Westchester County's Bee-Line Bus System. As well, LIRR and Metro-North will have OMNY in 2021.

It is not using the strip. It is using a small NFC chip inside the card \ phone so side does not matter. It will work as soon as it is almost touching.

They're probably roll out fare capping, which is essentially the same.

@@h8GW I want the same shit they have in NJ where they have their card ID in the RFID card

@@aracheb The dedicated OMNY cards are being rolled out now, starting with expanded retail locations such as CVS and Walgreens.

There are transfers between OMNY enabled modes, just like MetroCards.

@@mixeduniverse111 Actually, the transfer will go through. It won’t charge you again.

Exactly what I want to know. I pay and ask the driver for a transfer

@@pinkcocosplitfigj9064 if u tap and pay with ur phone u have to use that same device to tap and go again for the transfer. Same thing goes for credit or debit cards

@@Ahn-mu3db are you sure about that? I thought it's up to the account the device is connected to to decide that

At this point, there is little demand due to low ridership and track work further up the line that will require constant service changes.

YES

Soon.

Currently on their web site: "If you’re a current Reduced-Fare customer, you will not have to reapply to use OMNY. Starting soon, you will be able to link your contactless credit or debit card, smartphone, or wearable device to your OMNY account to get the half-price fare. Reduced-Fare customers will be able to switch over to OMNY either online or in person. More details on that process will be available in the coming weeks. "

Records your card number and the trips associated with it. If your trip is considered a transfer, you aren't charged.

Supposedly you are supposed to tap your payment method on a device the fare inspector folks carry around to verify you paid. However, I have not had OMNY-related encounters with fare inspectors in a long while (and some I just missed entirely).

@@TheRailLeaguer okay thanks

The EAGLE Team folks have a contactless reader to tap your device on.

A dedicated weekly card will be coming out soon, so you can buy one when it comes out.

It’s the same rules as the MetroCard.

Pay on board and the fare inspectors (when they do show up) will have a device to verify payment on board.

In the not-too-distant future, no. You will still have the same reduced fare capabilities as today.

Apparently they think that younger people are more tech proficient than older folks.

@@TheRailLeaguer which is apparently not true : (

@@mahinshahrier7022 Yeah. Looks like tech proficiency varies from person to person, with age a non-factor.

yes , but that is because you're 61 years young ;)

Ageism. I'm older than you and have had to explain various kinds of tech to younger people many times. There are people who like tech and people who don't get it in every age group. It's got very little to do with age. Maybe the video is supposed to be funny. I don't find ageism funny, but whatever.

They do

NICE bus installation will occur soon.

There's really no reason to pay now, everyone is jumping. Make it mandatory so I stop feeling like an idiot for paying.

I think this happened to me. I used it for the first time the other day. I tapped at an angle, of a card that I registered, but it kept saying TAP AGAIN. Don't know what I was doing wrong. Going back, I tried again. It worked. Don't know what I did right. I think it has to be parallel to the surface of the reader. On this video, they show someone tapping a card at an angle, like I did. Maybe it doesn't really work like that. Who knows....

A monthly OMNY card will be coming out something within the next 6 months to a year

You also get a transfer with OMNY. Same rules apply: Free transfers between OMNY enabled modes, provided you transfer within two hours

Yes. However you also have the option of using your contactless card directly or purchasing a physical OMNY card to use. They rolled them out last month and I got mine at 7-Eleven. It’s on the gift card rack and it’s black with the words OMNY written in the front of it.

@@TheRailLeaguer Thanks for that info, I will look at 7-11 for one of the Omni card. The only negative issue is that I don't think they work on the select buses

@@lt5550 I've used mine on the B82 Select Bus Service when coming home from working the election polls during election day and it is just like using it on any other bus route (pay on board). It should show up on your account. On that note, I do find it disappointing that the system can't differentiate between the local, limited, and SBS especially since it only says the route number, without the limited/SBS designation. This is something that I have noticed a number of times, and it is something that they need to look into.

@@TheRailLeaguer good to know. Thanks again.

To help keep track of the rides to clear up any issues.

I believe with iphone you can still use I Even if it's dead. You just need to have your card set up as your Transit Express card in the wallet app. Just check online first.

Station Agent, or the machines they are gonna have to buy OMNY cards

@@JeremyGalarzaBXJay149 I believe only if you have one of the last two generations of iPhones.

I have an android

Not everyone will have a cell or bankcard

A physical OMNY card also counts as a payment method.

@@TheRailLeaguer so I can use Google wallet ? Tap and go

@@hood_nation_tv Yeah.

That’s coming soon.

Actually NY does have tourists and they use the subway too. Was your last statement an error?

@@TheRailLeaguer Either an error or sarcasm. => European who has been a tourist to New York in 2019 and used a metro card - paid with cash.

@@bluerisk Maybe tourists do you OMNY too.

@@TheRailLeaguer Without bank account or national phone provider...it is not explained how.

@@bluerisk The plan does not rely on cell service. Apple Pay and Samsung Pay are independent from internet service.

@@TheRailLeaguer Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! : ( Thanks for the info.

@@TheRailLeaguer I believe they will come out in February 2021 if I’m right

@@pubggamer2022 July 2021 as of now.

@@mixeduniverse111 Is that a joke?

There are free transfers between OMNY enabled modes. That has always existed from the start. The plan is being phased in, one step at a time (especially after what happened with Ventra). Weekly and monthly’s were always going to come in at a later date. Plus the system is still being installed. Why have weekly cards when the only a portion of the system has it (the initial installation included Staten Island buses and all Lexington Avenue Line station Grand Central and south).

@@TheRailLeaguer 👆🏼This. Each component will come in in phases. MetroCard will continue to be supported until 2023. Nothing to worry about 👍🏼

I think there will still be a physical card that will probably be the same process as buying a metro card.

@@MTANewYorkCityTransitFilms I guess the physical card will be used for unlimited rides because the credit card use is single rides. And it didn't explain how transfers work when you tap with the credit card

OMNY actually accepts Apple Pay.

An unlimited option will be rolled out in the near future.

@@TheRailLeaguer via credit card? I figure credit cards are only for single rides and the omny card will be used for unlimited rides. But even with the credit card single ride how would transfers work. Will you get billed a second time and then refunded or not billed as it just recognized that you tapped already

@@xidiamond6851 Via dedicated OMNY cards and maybe credit cards.

What is the app

...and one European.

Yes, there are transfers available.

@@TheRailLeaguer how where do they go

A list of operator doesn't want to give it to you😏

They will come out in 2021

Why? No germs are being transmitted with any fare payment.

You wave it over, can be close without touching.

Depends if your Android phone supports enabling NFC and an app like Google Pay or Samsung Wallet.

Same rules apply.

@@TheRailLeaguer so when you tap your credit card again you won't be billed it will just know you already tapped and let you go. Or you'll get billed but then refunded smh and also what about one week and one month passes. There is no option for that with this

@@xidiamond6851 The OMNY rollout is incomplete. By September, there will be unlimited passes available with OMNY.

They charge the same fare regardless of how many stations you travel, so there's no need

There will still be unlimited rides. The rollout is incomplete right now.

@Jason Diaz yes it'll be gone in like 2-3 years

Me Three! : ) Metro Card is good.

Im gonna use my Metrocard till the last day. But once they release the OMNY card I'll try it out

Yea and plus you don’t get a transfer to another bus or train when you use omny as of now. But, once they roll out omny transit cards it will have transfers.

@@Manu-gq5ke actually yes OMNY does give you a transfer from bus to subway or one bus line to another. You just need to use the same card to tap in.

Jeremy Galarza yea but, if I want to transfer to a bus there’s no omny on most of the buses.

@@Manu-gq5ke yeah I know that, but that why in the videos they say if OMNY is not right for you, continue using your MetroCard.

If your bank supports apple pay, google pay or samsung pay. You can set up your card with it and set it as you transit card so you don't have to unlock to tap in. Just note at samsung pay works only with galaxy s6 and up devices and galaxy smart watch. If you have an Android smartphone check to see if it has NFC. If so you can use Google pay

Metrocard aren't getting replace soon

MTA production A physical OMNY card will come out in 2021

@@mtaproduction_1 You can still use MetroCards until 2023

@@TheRailLeaguer It's getting delayed

Dispute it with your bank. Also, if you can, turn off Express Transit if you can. These types of issues are mostly an issue with Apple’s system, not an OMNY glitch. Also, if your stations and bus lines have OMNY, why are you still using a pay-per-ride MetroCard when the OMNY system is right there. You can make the switch now if you want to.

@@TheRailLeaguer Once the charge went from _pending_ to _applied,_ I was able to click on it and dispute it, and got refunded. Also I turned on _verification before being charged_ or whatever it’s called. So now before being charged on my debit card within the _wallet_ app/feature, the iPhone will require my passcode and face ID.

@@nlawson2004 That’s good. Also for better safety keep your phone in a pocket away from the turnstile readers, such as a pants pocket. Works for me all the time.

@@TheRailLeaguer I literally wasn’t fully aware of the OMNY system until I got charged. I’ve stayed away from MTA trips since the pandemic and only got a metro card refill for a trip to Roosevelt Island via the Tram.

@@nlawson2004 Im surprised you weren’t aware of OMNY. It’s been out for almost 18 months with more stations getting it day by day.

Tap on board the bus.

Why? They already are back in the form of necklaces the transit museum is selling.

Express Pay still works in this case.

There will be a physical OMNY card you can use this year. MetroCards will be phased out in 2023

Doesn’t every single bus route connect to at least one subway line?

That's correct but not all of them have it yet.
