Students should be "thankful" that they are getting "free rides". They should NOT be selling them on Ebay and FB Market place. But then the MTA will disable those card immediately. Oh great now MTA is going to make something new now. Edited Saturday at 09:37 PM by mikecintel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently quite a few are scams anyways with the cards being disabled when they request new cards so the kids just pocket the money from the sale. It's just preying on dumbasses who either don't know about the scam or don't realize their chances of being ticketed increase a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing they will phase out Metro card by the end of the year which is Dec 31,2025. In 2026 it should be fully OMNY. They should be sending out to the senior physical cards by now since they just distribute the school kids and college students already. I am going to call OMNY CS and see what they said about the reduce fare of senior and when they will get the physical cards. I'm hoping access a ride buses can have OMNY and maybe their car services they use can just download an app to accept OMNY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I think they will because what is the point of not having OMNY while other places has it in NYC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
