Frequently Asked Questions
General information
OMNY, which stands for One Metro New York, is based on the concept of unifying fare payments and ticketing across multiple modes of transportation. We believe that transportation is an essential service that connects communities and brings the diversity and energy of New York together. OMNY is the newest way to experience all that our region offers.
MetroCard will continue to be available until all comparable services are offered with OMNY. This is currently planned for completion in 2024.
