You could use fare validators at both GCT and Penn Station just like in SF at 4 and King Station without the faregates to tap on or off.

Just like the Ventra App for the METRA commuter rail in Chicago.

Is this the OMNY card be like the Ventra card in Chicago and Clipper card in the San Francisco Bay Area? 

Just recently, the MBTA in Boston annouuced that they will be putting faregates up at North Station, South Station, and BackBay Station the 3 major rail hubs in that city where their new AFC 2.0 (next generation Charliecards) will be rolling out to tap on and tap off on the MBTA Commuter RaIl. Will the MTA follow the same path in putting faregates at Grand Central Terminal and at Penn Station for both the LIRR and Metro-North Railroad to tap on and tap off? And, Just like The T in Boston. Will the MTA introduce a Proof-Of-Payment system here in New York when the new OMNY fare payment system is rolled out?

When the OMNY card comes out, Will there be a contactless limited use paper OMNY Ticket like the ones in Chicago with VENTRA, Atlanta with BREEZE and Miami with EASY?
