System rollout

OMNY installations temporarily suspended

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, we are hitting pause on all OMNY installations for now. Resources are being prioritized to focus on running essential service across subway, bus, and commuter rail, and to ensure the safety and health of our installation teams.

During the rollout, you can continue using your own contactless card or smart device. OMNY supports a full-fare, pay-per-ride option for now, with free transfers at OMNY-enabled subway stations, bus routes, and Staten Island Railway locations.

New York City Bus

OMNY is currently available on all MTA-operated buses on Staten Island. This includes all local buses and all express buses. This excludes the SIM23 and SIM24 routes operated by Academy Bus.

Since we have temporarily suspended all OMNY installations, we will not roll out to MTA-operated limited and local buses in Manhattan by March 2020. The new target date for this work is still to be determined as we navigate through these difficult times.

New York City Subway and Staten Island Railway

Although we plan to expand OMNY along line segments, we are committed to installing OMNY readers at all turnstiles in station complexes with other lines. This will allow you to access additional transfer points with OMNY.

For example, when we launched OMNY at Canal Street on the line, we also activated the rest of the Canal Street complex serving the lines.

Keep in mind that OMNY is not available system-wide just yet, so plan ahead – especially if you need to make transfers during part of your journey where OMNY is not yet available.
