How do you usually pay for the trip in the subway?
They also have that at BART in the Bay Area and Caltrain and VTA in Santa Clara county.
But is it at every subway?
I also use OMNY kinda miss those days with that metro card
Very useful for me since im doing it from la guardia in couple of weeks.. Brooklyn?
@@sandrajones8245 no not yet. they're gonna start putting them in every station next year. Get rid of old card vending machines and replace it with the OMNY system vending machines which will cost $5 for a new card instead of $1 like now plus you have to pay the fare which I heard is going up as well.
It’s been like this in London for yeeeears
Are you sure? I was in London last month. I still had to buy the Oyster card.
@@yousufmamsa it was introduced in 2014
@@yousufmamsa yep. Lived there 5 years, if you have a contactless card or Apple play you just tap in.
@@chelseajannellas4485 nah any contactless card (both debit and credit) that you can tap works or any card that you can put on apple pay
This isn't new either in NYC either. You can do it on the bus too.
USA: NY Subway is doing something the rest of the world needs to do...
Rest of the world: Yeah, we've been doing that for years
Rest of the USA too
@@ASS_ault older then what? Not older then the London underground
The rest of the world ? Most countries do not have them unless they are first world countries
You must be privileged and spoiled to think the rest of the world has this
She doesnt even have an american accent and yall are still making it about Americans like you have a severe complex 😂
Locals know how to get a 100% discount on train rides.
On god 😂😂😂
😈
Devilish deeds
The turn style trick or wait til someone open the emergency exit door 😂😂😂😂
Broke boy
It's the same in Marina's hometown Saint Petersburg, I dunno why she is amazed
Have the same question
Because the US is usually behind with payment technology. It’s this way in South Africa too
@@Adrian_Hur most underrated comment ever 😂
if youve ever ridden the NYC subway you would understand
Because she makes money out of glorifying usa, duh
I clearly remember paying like this on a bus in London back in 2015.
Took them a while...
Yeah we were too busy buying and throwing away millions of little plastic cards for the last decade or so. Ridiculous.
@@BrooklynAlien Who’s we? That’s you some of us out here doing the turn style trick and waiting for the emergency exit door 😵💫
This was in Japan since the feudal era!
😂😂😂
🤣
Not true at all
You very much still need tickets. They’re stubborn like that
@@1CE. not "need", ticket is also an option. Tap and Suica have been around since at least 20 years
.
We were on a week long trip in NYC and the $33 metro card was the best thing. We used it so much!
$20 for a week in Chicago all you can ride in the bus or train
Oh yeah that’s the 7 day unlimited card. Good if you’re going out a lot all week but if it’s only once a week it’s a huge waste.
@@BigPops757 the good thing is OMNY is taking over in NYC now, and with it, you just pay per ride, but every ride after the 12th per week is free. So it’s like the perfect combination of the unlimited metrocard and the pay as you go method.
Well, you now have a keepsake as they are introducing the OMNY card
@@mariaromo2014The Chicago L isn’t even half the size of the NYC Subway. I would expect it to cost less.
Unfortunately, I believe they recently elevated the price from $2.75 to $2.90.
Hello! It’s been like this in so many countries for the past 5+ years🌖
She lack of knowledge
This has been around for about 4 years, starting on NYC buses.
@@Michael-tm6vs no she’s been in the usa since 2016. but still, points stand.
@@mourning-after I’m talking about NYC exclusively.
It’s been like this in Seoul for yearssss
china too. Japan i think so too or i was wrong but point is many country already has as well
Question was this setup by a private corporation will have access to your payment address in Seoul?
@@TunbosunOyenuga Probably not. Because Korea's government is big compared to the US.
@@seungheechang6293The Korean government was set up by NATO, don’t bite the hand that made you
Few problems with this: crime rates are up and someone can snatch ur unlocked phone with the bank info. Two: old people and non tech savvy people will need help using it. Three: you gotta make sure there’s money just like the metro card. 4: your phone dies, ur screwed.
They are rolling out OMNY cards which will solve the phone running out of battery problem.
@@arrowpictures2844, and for phones that do NOT have NFCs!!! Like at all (due to phones that have NFC could cost as much as an MacBook Pro!)
Laughs in Singaporean ❤
YESSS
My biggest fear is losing the MRT card…
@@Sulerwog SAME
lost my ez-link card coincidentally last month
HAHA SG GANG
This is a bittersweet moment for some true New Yorkers… not a celebration
So guys, I'm 21. I live for 21 years in Saint-Petersburg and it was like that in our subway for as long as I remember
It exists even in Kyiv in Ukraine and in other Ukrainian cities, I don’t think it’s so uncommon
Despite me never being to that part of Europe, I reckon even Moscow Metro has this.
It’s only recently been a thing in the Bay Area where she lives. And she lives a car dependent lifestyle and area in the Silicon Valley anyway. It’s probably been a while since she regularly used public transit, as is the case with most people who live in the South Bay/Silicon Valley (very different than nearby San Francisco and the more urban parts of the Bay Area where I used to live)
@@MoshimulationsThe Moscow metro is one of the best in Europe. It's literally like a temple
If you go the US theyre so backward tbh. Technologically behind a lot of countries
@@Moshimulationsmoscow has it. Its the best metro in thw world. NYC is a dump compared to Moscows subway systems
People in the station are like "why is this woman wagging her finger at the ticket machine??"
It’s also in my city’s subway!! Sevilla, Spain. I think other European cities are starting to add this too.
Most of the European cities have this since a long time 🤦
@@troyeakb6314you mean just using your debit or credit card to tap in and tap out?
It’s been like this is Canadá for awhile lol
Where? You need your presto for everything! Is there something I don't know about??
Not in Montreal
Not where I live lol
@@Ellie-nv5vf vancouver
@@Ellie-nv5vf Vancouver
Lmao sometimes I don’t got 2.75 until my next biweekly check
It has been like this in Kharkiv Ukraine for years😊
Same in Kyiv
@@valeriiabondarieva5871 Kiev metro is one of the deepest. Kharkov metro needs some modernization.
Watch out for thieves, I saw a women’s credit card get snatched tapping. It happened so fast.
In Germany there are no "doors" to enter the metro, so no need to have a digital or printed ticket to enter it ;)
They still need to make the old 7-day unlimited option available. For people who work the current Monday to Sunday system is simply a bad deal. You automatically reach your unlimited rides and get nothing out of them.
That only works if your start on a Monday morning. We’ll be there from a Friday until a Wednesday. We’ll save $33 by using the metrocard.
Switzerland had this for the past 10 year at least. Before that you just had to tell the bus driver where you got off and he told you the price. Even then it just took 20 second.
Finally east European civilization arrived to NYC. I rode the Ukrainian metro years ago and it had this type of ticketing system. Just Apple Pay, no paper ! Glad it’s getting civilized there 🇺🇸
Haha I see the shade you threw there! 😏
It's been like this since 1997 in Hong Kong, always Tap and Go with Autopay online or Top up at station. You can tap your phone (Samsung pay 2017, Apple pay 2020), your watch (2020) and the octopus card (1997) itself. Octopus payment system has since expanded to be able to use not only on ALL Hong Kong public transportations, but also supermarkets, convenience stores, vending machines and etc. So, why they announced it in New York like it was a new and exciting technology the world has never seen... 🤔👌?
Who announced it like that ? Nobody who lives in NY thinks our subway is ever cutting edge no matter what improvements are made but yeah believe what you want.
Tapping your phone for riding mtr is just start happen in these two years, before that you should still buy ticket or mostly tap your octopus card
@@3markaw Of course regular people who lives in New York knows how bad the subway system is. Did you watch how the MTA official / politicians / news announced it and how they promoted it though? I don't understand what is your point? People can believe what they believe like you said, the way they promoted it DO make SOME people feel they are announcing a brand new tech that's very special (I know it is special for NY). You see the "?" I put in my comment, I was just wondering, you don't have to agree, it's a free country mate. Don't be upset please, no offense. Just ranting towards the MTA...
@@yatstransportbureau8848 Yes, you are right, octopus phone apps were launched roughly a little over 3 years ago in 2020. But first, I said "Tap & Go" system, and I meant that, sorry may be I was not clear when I made that comment, the system now includes octopus card, phone and watch. The Hong Kong octopus card was since 1997... If your point is swiping the NY subway card which always failed is the same as octopus card tap and go, then okay... Just FYI, back in 1997 smart phone and apps was almost non-existent to regular people, not like today. So, again, I don't see what it is you want to point out. I made the comment because I just wanted to rant about how bad the subway in NY is, and these MTA / officials / tiktoker making it like it was so special. Sorry I am not trying to offend 💕 😟!
@travelingfishball Yeah OK but MTA officials still need to promote it. Not because it's such new tech but because It's their job to make people aware of any changes to the system. Many NYers don't even speak english so they don't know what is new with the system . Most people on the train are doing things the way they always did it until they learn different .
Pick up the OMNY Card at 7-11 and attach a card to that. Its much easier.
You should go to London the system would amaze you. It even sends money back to your account at the end of the month if they would find that a package deal would be cheaper for you compared to your bill it will automatically refund you the difference.
Yeah would never happen in the states lol
Wow...
You can do that in London too and it definitely isn‘t anything new 😅
In India I can prebook on my phone, flash a QR code at the gates to enter or exit the Metro, touchtree.
Saves 20% on the fares too for not crowding the counters
We have this in Sydney Australia except you don’t need any special type of pay you can just use your debit card
Its the same in Singapore for a few years and Chicago 8 years ago was the same.
That moment when you realize that in your native Kyiv this function has been working for a long time
Singapore been doing this for years too!
We don’t have this in japan, as far as I know, you still either have to buy a ticket and a pass, but the subway system here is a lot faster (bullet train and all) + convenient since it’s very close to a lot of places. The longest distance I’ve ever had to walk to a train station is like 10-15 mins, also train stations food: 🔥
Please don't give people the false impression that New York City subways are a safe or happy place
I wasn't expected the train cost so much.
We have it in Kyiv, Ukraine too🇺🇦
And in St.Petersburg 🇷🇺
Hi
London has been doing this for quite some time.
Same in aus. BUT the trip costs anywhere from $4 to $6.50 and if you work 9 to 5, you’ll be spending $10 to $14 errdayyy
Not in Melbourne! They were so early on the contactless bandwagon that their readers are now hopelessly outdated. You can get an app for some Android phones, but newer phones (and all iPhones) don’t support the old technology.
There are talks of updating the system to allow regular contactless payment. It will probably cost tens of millions to implement.
I still use a Metro Card knowing I I'll have to transition to OMNY. But I have too much bad luck QR codes, so I'm just going to have to get an OMNY card.
Lived here my whole life. NYC and its subway have become an open cesspool. "New York, New York, one Hell of a town".
Brisbane public transport has had that feature for a little while now. It is a good feature I agree though.
$2.75 wow that’s not bad! Mine starts at $3.10 and the farther you take the train the price increases 🙃
it’s bad when you pay one of the highest tax rates in the country an they send it off to the imperial oil gathering squad while your essential train stations rot
I’m still keeping my 2017 metro card even though it expired 4 years ago
The New York system uses the same technology as the one in London. It was developed by Cubic for TfL, who then allowed them to license it to New York.
paris needs this.. it's sooo old school
I love Paris with all its quirks.
Paris is an old song
the $2.75 pains me like it adds up so quick 😩 but i still love new york so much 🤧
Are you that poor
there’s a lot of free ride opportunities with omny
@@Sulerwog 2,75 for 2 trip. Imagine going to work like 22 days a month. 2,75x2x22=121$ a month just for 2 trips a day... That's not really cheap
Cheaper than renting a car or calling a taxi. Slow your roll.
@@Sulerwogadd that to New York rent & you begin to see how expensive everything is in New York
Yes. It was so easy to just tap my credit card everytime. And the fare capping after 12 rides per week really helped too.
We also have this in the Netherlands at trams and busses now 😊
There’s a danger to this. If the government don’t like you than they can turn off your card or deny it access, they can track your movements (yes I know your phone does that too).
Oh please! 🙄
Source: Trust me bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Source: heh I’m not lying totally
Well the predecessor to this was government-issued cards, so how is this worse???
I just realized thwy have this too for TAPcards in la you can add your transit card to your apple wallet and pay on the bus like that! Although sometimes it doesnt go thru, the driver will let u slide lol
It's maybe cuz you look a normal person every bus driver just doesnt wanna get stabbed.
You are a blessing. Thank you for this video❤
We've had this in Bucharest, Romania for years. Wait until they implement this on buses in NYC, she will be blown away😂😂
In Germany you can just walk in, and if you’re asked for a card you just tell some random name
😂
They have that for the London Underground for as long as I can remember
less than 10 years but ... yeah
@@emmacow82 I’m 14… so yea
@@emmacow82do you mean using debit card or Oyster card to pay?
gotta update that, its $2.90 now LOL
I remember when I was a kid in the early 90s & used bus tokens for way less than $2.75. Watched it change fast in 30 yrs. Crazy
В Екатеринбурге такая система работает уже несколько лет ) 😄.
Pro Local Tip: Hop over the guardrails or wait for someone to use the door to the side to sneak in. Nobody ever gonna say anything unless you did it directly in front of a police officer.
Second tip, if your using the bus.. just enter through the back. They don't say anything to you. This only works on the local bus though. Express will often have stops where police wait outside to check if you paid.
Tip: Just steal from MTA and my tax dollars. 🤬
Dude that makes the mta lose dollars
The MTA likes to remind you how much they are losing, but not earning. If you're low on the dough but need to travel, skip paying for it. You the one in need of the money more.
It's similar to this where I live in Adelaide, South Australia. You can just tap your card or digital card to buy a ticket
In Portland Oregon, you can also tap a credit card instead of the hop pass. Same thing. Cheaper actually. Hop card costs a small fee to get
Sis we were dead last on this. The Mayor decided we needed robotic police dogs first 😪
Errrrrrrr....I actually think you do....
@@saintclaire4897 please tell us how many criminals the robopopopups have caught. 🥹
Sounds like a cope way for the gov to track you better than they already do
Yeah but there's something definitely iconic about the metrocard
This is finally becoming more common in the US in the past few years. We just got this in Philadelphia as well
Oh yeah. NYC subways are great. I encountered a congo-player who gave us a whole concert featuring the "songs of his people" while everyone else was slowly inching away from him. One poor girl gave him eye contact and he kept asking her to sing along. That was my first subway experience and it did not disappoint
and don't forget all of the filthy trains, delays, random schedule shifts, shoddy announcements you can barely hear, and advertisements covering up the schedules
I remember about 15-20 years ago I was riding the train and I found someone’s printed instructions on how to get free rides. You have to bend the metro card a curtain way swipe the card then remove the bend and swipe again and it worked after the second swipe. I was so good at it I use to do it one handed just in case the undercovers are watching.
In Moscow you can pay by:
1) Paper ticket (62c)
2) Troika card (50c and refundable 50c for the card)
3) Social card (for citizens)
4) Russian or Chinese bank card, debit or even credit
pov: you’re early and don’t know what to say
Wrocław, Poland
Been like this for years :)
Now it's 2.90... and only some train stations have those Apple Pay passes
Would help if they cleaned the subway for once because I swear it smells like rats, sweat, sewage, and depression there everyday and its awful in the summer. Then maybe I would appreciate the new card scanning system lol.
London as well! 🙌🏻
Yes I was going to say it!!!!!!! Barcelona as well now
@@alejandraarroyo6635 love it! 😊 I recently was in Prague and could use my card on a tram 😍 it’s the simple things in life 🤣
Portugal as well!!!
Every metro in China has had that since like 2016
Love it. Great video. So much information in such a short time :)
Thank you!
Correction, a trip is $2.90 not $2.75.
$3.00 today, unless they don’t give no change back! Lol
Same here in Australia, has been like this for ages
Lol, literally for about 5 years in Kyiv already, and ab 2 in Kharkiv.👋
Bay Area Bart is similar, you can buy your clipper card from your apple wallet and pay with your phone. You still need the clipper card tho.
Plus 2.75$ is quite expensive... In Warsaw one-journey adult ticket costs 3.40 zł, which is less than 1$. But I understand that in such a big city fares are higher
Ukraine🇺🇦!!
Now just don’t get pushed in front of the train and make sure you “stand clear of the closing doors” 😂
Nah but real locals know how to cop that 100% discount 🗿
Lmao cities like London, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin and Tokyo have been doing this since a very long time 🤦
This girl gets something wrong about the US in every video but you keep watching because of her charisma and good editing.
out here in denver there are no blockades to enter stations without paying, 9 times out of 10 you can get on any of the trains with no pass whatsoever (light rail has less security than commuter rail, you can take the light rail lines and it's basically guaranteed that you won't be asked to show a ticket)
Right lemme tell you something: many places around the world already let you do this with credit cards. MTA is super behind on almost everything: payment systems, smarter turnstiles, scheduling, train technology, signaling technology, maintenance and refurbishment, cleanliness, ADA accessibility, the list goes on.
hopefully they start doing the same here in sao paulo, payments with metro cards or credit/debit cards were introduced recently and now your ticket comes with a qrcode too
In Amsterdam I just tapped my credit card on the train. It was cool.
Good to know that, I did not hear about it until I saw your video, neither my sister or mom told me about it. I moved from NY 2 years ago, bought a house in Connecticut. Before moving from NY I was not communicating or taking the subway for any reason since I drive and I was not working in the “city” NYC.
It’s been this way for years in London. Tap credit cards, Oyster or cell phone with Apple Pay. NYC is just behind as usual
Its so sad that the subway cars/stations etc in NY are so old, run down, dirty and unsafe and people just seem to be used to it. I hope NYC Subway will be amazing some day.
Meanwhile in Vienna: we trust that you bought a ticket at a ticket machine. We won’t be slowing down traffic with gates and such.
Random ticket check once in a while? EVERYONE (but some tourist from the US who thought public transport is free since they saw no gate) has a ticket.
Along with your fee of $2 you also get to see the massive Pomeranian sized subway rats
I pay with metrocard. Why would I want to share my bank account to that??? It will be do hard to question
It’s been like that in Brussels too. It is indeed amazingly easy
