The OMNY readers at Whitehall St are rather useless to SIR riders as long as the St George station lacks them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully 86th and Lex should be next on the list along with 96th before additional transitions to The Bronx and Brooklyn stations 🚉. I wouldn't be suprised if those stations have it, I just haven't been able to go over and personally verify them myself yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other focus right now should be the rest of the Midtown and Downtown stations on all lines. On the bus side some buses in the Manhattan Division have bases for OMNY. Right now I’ve personally seen in MQ and MHV buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak41 Posted October 21, 2019 Share #235 Posted October 21, 2019 80% of OMNY use is by Smartphone because US banks are for behind the times compared to banks in Europe, Asia, and Canada with regards to Contactless technology. Upper East Side residents are generally well-to-do and more apt to have Smartphones than local bus riders in general or SIR passengers, so they get priority. 8 - 10% of NYC residents are also un-banked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the one stop from 96th to 86th every day on the way home so I can get a seat on the M86 since a lot of people always get off at Lex. I'll be sure to post when 86th does get the readers.

Kamen Rider Posted October 22, 2019 Share #240 Posted October 22, 2019 If they want to complete their stated goal of “system wide by the end of 2020” they need to bring an average of about 7 new stations online each week for the next 14 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how fast they installed them at 96th (quite literally put the mounts in overnight, all the turnstiles were done by the day after some mounts first appeared), it seems like it's not challenging installation. I assume the readers themselves are an even faster process to put on top of the mounts. They may also then just install readers/mounts in waves, and enable them in a similar manner (versus station by station) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s assuming the full rollout process begins next week, there are no delays and massive stations like TSQ don’t take up too much time. (PS.

Amtrak41 Posted October 25, 2019 Share #246 Posted October 25, 2019 Seem to be doing on average 1 per day. Leaving out 86th Street/4th Av Brooklyn makes OMNY rather useless for S79 and S53 passengers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one non-IRT station in Brooklyn that should take priority (in other words, done with the Brooklyn IRT -- which should also be done early into the wider rollout -- for cohesion).
