The MTA is taking the first step into an all-digital fare system.
This weekend, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) rolled out the pilot program of its new tap-and-go fare-collecting system, called OMNY, short for One Metro New York. New Yorkers can now pay for their subway rides without the use of those often-malfunctioning magnetic stripe MetroCards, thanks to the new contactless card-supporting turnstiles.
