Yeah they really dont need this step at all, imagine the operation cost to support it, they are going to send the reduced fare OMNY card to all the existing reduced fare users so should just tell them to wait for that and keep using the Metrocard in the mean time
While this video is clear and addresses the challenges (e. g., only one method of payment), this is unnecessarily complicated. OMNY is evidently separate from the Transit Authority--more immovable bureaucracies for NYC riders.
Very hard and difficult yo figure out how to use a reduced fare to pay the subway with your phone. The explanations are inconclusive and do not link you to a web site to do it Terrible
So if I make the OMNY switch to my credit card and when the reduced fare omny card begins circulation in 2023 can I switch to the physical omny Card? I prefer the OMNY Reduce fare Card.
When you log into your account, go to manage my account and under payment method, you can suspend the current credit or debit card. This is also the procedure if you lose your credit card or it expires and the bank mails you a new one. Then click to add a new payment method and choose OMNY card. Then input the number of the new OMNY card you got.
I'M DEaf so do i still call in ??? Vause they always TEXED me when its time for my rides n how do i pay???? Do i pay like before??? Give the paymemt to the Driver????
My iPhone offers no obvious way to accept OMNY card onto my digital wallet. So I must carry the physical OMNY card purchased at CVS. No good. Get with the times😮
MTA what if the senior citizen doesn't want to link there bank account to turn in the metro card reduced fare for a omny card...Can anyone answer this...Thank you
@@AKF919 --- MTA says attacking their employees is a felony, but everyone else is just something that happens. Why arent all subway attacks treated the same?
Nobody you got wrong the fair goes up the crime goes up the pest and feces the smell Ge is pathetic it's terrible and yet it's so expensive it's pretty pathetic that they could charge this much for such a trash service people get slashed pushed killed shot and stabbed and yet all they care about is turnstiles all cops do a s*** d*** at the turnstile
This is great EXCEPT it doesn't work. I have fair fares and it's linked, but it still deducts the full amount. Been trying to fix this for months and no one knows why it doesn't work. OMNY is awful. Going back to the reduced fair card.
For sure lot of the senior citizens on their own will have difficulty getting this set up.
However this method does not work for the Fair Fare metro card. Hopefully this will be amended soon.👍
Wow. That's tragic. It's not fixed yet. Why would MTA exclude fair fares from OMNY? Make it make sense!
Correct. They should have added Fair Fair a long time ago, especially since they wuill be eliminating Metrocards soon.

I feel like you guys just made it more difficult than it needed to be 🥴
That's what exactly what I wanted to say.

@@sjneow *meantime
witch means if your phone is dead, you can't use your card
Exactly..
Great job, mta.
gosh just make a digital rechargeable metro card that attaches to wallet its not that hard
Uh, what happens with the funds already registered to my Metrocard?
Good job Mta! We are proud of you.
Well done 👍

Great Job MTA
Rip Metrocards
Looks like the senior citizens will be using OMNY for a very long time. 😀
How about if i buy the monthly reduced metro card and switch to omny can i still use my monthly card while using omny?
No, but there is a weekly cap of 12 rides. So you can use omny like a weekly reduced metro card.
THANK YOU
what about a balance on the card, will that be transferred?
Will omny cards be made for students as well
That is Going to Come Later Next Year
Can I use one omny account on two devices?

Need to see position of debit card when tapping on the reader
I did this back in early June
May still be a little complicated for me, not being that smart. How many trips before discount????
There’s a cap at 12 trips a week. After that they are free.

They will have an OMNY reduced card coming in 2023.
@@TheRailLeaguer I'm asking for my mum, so she will have to pay full fare until this part of the program rolls out ...Thanks 😊
@@nikki.khristmas.british6155 I think if she already has a reduced fare Metrocard she can continue to use it as normal, no need to pay full fare
Reloadable reduce fare OMNY cards will be available in 2024
Are Metrocards still in use?
yes
Is that Chris's mother?
2024 and theyre still not out as far as I know
I have OMNY half fare with my PayPal debit card, since June
How did you do it?

Ahhh, I was looking for a nonsensical question such as this and clearly you didn't disappoint.
No but your spouse gets a $225 social security death benefit.
