Yippee! Yes a piece of Metro Card history. I wonder what it cost in future if you decided to sell that or any metro card. It will be "retro metro card" then and let's say hmmmm 30 years from now?

Hmmm then the other metro card is a new expiration date. I have to see when I get mine in March 31,2024 when exchange it. I also have another metro card which expires December 31,2024. Let see when that expires at the end of the year and when I exchange for a new one let's see if there will be a new expiration date past May 2025 then we will know when the metro card is really decommissioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak41 Posted March 14 Share #1933 Posted March 14 Transferring from one debit card to another with a Senior account. It is easy enough to add a payment method, but shifting senior status from one card to the other requires a call to Customer sevrice, then wait 2 business days for it to take effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 5 years to expire when your OMNY card. If you buy at retails it expires 7 year since your purchase date. I remember that the MTA when they first introduced the OMNY card and you had to purchase at the retail stores they said 7 years. But then they started the OMNY vending machine last year and then they said it's for 5 years then it will expire so it shortened 2 years by retail stores. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecintel Posted March 31 Share #1940 Posted March 31 I just exchanged my Metro Card that expires today and the new Metro Card says it will expire on Aug 31, 2025. I have one more card to exchange and that will be Dec 31, 2024. Let's see if there will be any new expiration date then. Will post about that then when I do exchange the other Metro Card in December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK great so that means it is "slowly" rolling out. Let's see if it is completed by the end of 2024 which I doubt. I think 2025 is more likely to finished deploying OMNY machines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak41 Posted April 2 Share #1945 Posted April 2 (edited) Are they ever going to get Trip History working again as on every other system, or is that beyond their competency ? This whole thing is London's Oyster Card, which has a far more complex fare system and is not brand new technology.

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted April 2 Share #1947 Posted April 2 Just got an email a few minutes ago, Easypay will be permanently ending in the beginning of July. Reloads will be turned off in May. They will mail letters and include an OMNY card. It's not clear if the balance will automatically transfer or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reloads will be turned off in May. They will mail letters and include an OMNY card. It's not clear if the balance will automatically transfer or not. Quote Dear EasyPayXpress Customer: In the next few months, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will be ending the EasyPayXpress program as part of the transition to the MTA's new contactless fare payment system, known as OMNY. You can already use contactless fare payment at subway turnstiles and AutoGates, onboard buses, the Roosevelt Island Tram, and at AirTrain. In the next few years, contactless fare payment will fully replace MetroCard and allow for fare payment and ticketing across subways, buses, Access-A-Ride paratransit, and MTA commuter rail. Contactless payment has many of the same benefits as EasyPay, and provides a convenient, fast, accessible way to pay your transit fare. If you prefer to use OMNY like the way you use EasyPay, we have included an OMNY card for your convenience. You can register for an OMNY account and set up your credit or debit card to automatically reload your OMNY account (instructions below). Here is what you need to know about this transition: After 5/17/24, your EasyPayXpress account will no longer automatically replenish. You will then have an additional 45 days, until 7/1/24 to use any remaining balance on your account. Account balances of less than $2.90 may be used to cover one ride, after which the account will have a zero balance. The program will end on 7/2/24 (approximately 90 days from the date of this notice) and at that time your EasyPayXpress MetroCard will no longer be usable to pay a transit fare. If you have any questions, please contact the EasyPay Account Service Center online at easypaymetrocard.com or call 877-323-7433. So much for 2026, but what I don't understand is what about other agencies like NICE and Bee Line, are they getting their OMNY readers installed by then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next board update on OMNY is April. Guess we'll find out then Also announced this week with the Metropolitan-Lorimer elevator openings are special OMNY subway transfer readers due to the configuration of the station. Someone can probably link a pic from MTA site, twitter, or flickr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecintel Posted April 3 Share #1950 Posted April 3 Regarding about EasyPayXpress Customer they are lucky because they will not have to pay for an OMNY card and they will get it for FREE. I can't wait for the April meeting regarding about OMNY. I "think" that would be the last meeting about OMNY because in the CPC book for the future meeting dates they didn't mention anything about OMNY anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
