Rolling out OMNY, everywhere for everyone

OMNY rollout at a glance

Subway and bus pilot

May 2019 to November 2019

We launched a public pilot at select subway stations and on all Staten Island MTA buses. During this time, we collected your feedback, made improvements to the system, and watched OMNY usage grow to more than 3 million taps since launch. Thank you, New York!

Subway and bus expansion

December 2019 to late 2020

We are continuing the rollout to all subway stations, bus routes, and Staten Island Railway locations. Once this is complete, you will be able to tap and go throughout New York City.

Commuter rail expansion

early 2021

We will expand to Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, starting with a new mobile ticketing experience in the OMNY app. Once this is complete, OMNY will be your passport for the New York region across subway, bus, and commuter rail.

OMNY rollout completion

in 2023

Throughout the rollout, we will introduce additional features and services, including expanded fare options, a contactless transit card, new vending machines, enhanced accessibility features, and more. MetroCard will remain in place until OMNY is available everywhere for everyone.
