Lawrence St Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #76 Posted May 20, 2019 I think OMNY works as one big system, so on May 31st when the system goes online in Staten Island it will also go online for Manhattan with the hardware already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who told you that lie? It will only be available at SELECT subway stations on the line and on Staten Island on buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that was just conjecture based on the fact that some of the buses currently equipped with OMNY readers are being moved off that rock. (Considering which buses are being shifted, don't expect the ones already off to go back. Anyway, this is beginning to shift to buses, so I'll leave it at that.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former YUKON buses that are in Manhattan right now, based on my opinion, will become activated when Staten Island goes online, since they share the same network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just tap your phone (or smartwatch, or contactless credit/debit card) instead of swiping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect a free transfer but would like the system implemented there as well so we can connect to it with just one app, making it OMNY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been switched to "Metrocard only" mode today which means the backend is enabled but the smart card function has been disabled until Friday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
