Via Garibaldi 8 Posted December 31, 2020 Share #356 Posted December 31, 2020 OMNY is now set to go live on all buses and at all subway stations today, so the program is supposedly completed. We shall see... This was said for the Bronx buses months ago, but some local and express buses still did not have readers as late as this month, months after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if there are any buses with no reader on them, if they're express buses, I'm happy to reach out about them to have them fixed. They've been fairly quick with taking care of things of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted January 3, 2021 Share #360 Posted January 3, 2021 Every bus should have at least the front readers. However, on my way to work on January 1 (evening of January 1), it was not working on bus 9560. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the other boroughs are fine given that they were set up months ago and not rushed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted January 3, 2021 Share #363 Posted January 3, 2021 Is OMNY payment accepted on Queens buses now? The last few buses I’ve been on have OMNY readers that no longer display coming soon but instead reads “Tap Here”. I’ve also noticed that the old payment sticker that’s by the front door has been replaced with an OMNY sticker on various buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it says "Tap Here" then it is working. The last time I was on a Queens bus I didn't see that sign perhaps they are slowly changing it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMNY is active on all MTA-operated buses and subway stations. There's a few buses roaming around with non-working OMNY readers that say "Not In Service" or "Coming Soon" but they should be active on all for the most part. In the instances of a broken OMNY reader, treat it like a broken farebox and keep walking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the new Prevost's have OMNY readers? I was walking past 0023 in Manhattan and I didn't see any reader inside. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place or maybe because it's a demonstrator and they don't want to go through the hassle of installing one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was inside one of those buses today and they have started the installation of omny. For now the only thing that’s install is the wire harness and mounting hardware. The base isn’t fully installed yet. Keep in mind, they don’t have plates on those buses yet. They are training with temp paper plates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well they when they rolled out OMNY for Bronx express buses, I got a number of complaints from BxM9 riders that their buses did NOT have the readers because some trips are covered out of College Point Depot. When I reached out to complain, they apologized and said it would be addressed by the end of the year. Now they have these new buses without the readers. Some drivers have not been understanding and have become nasty demanding payment with a Metrocard. If the is going to claim that all buses have OMNY, then they should have them. Puts the riders in a awkward situation. For those of us without subway service, we can FINALLY just board the damn the bus and pay and not have to go find the nearest subway station just to fill Metrocard to take the express bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair the buses aren’t in revenue service just yet. So we can really say omny won’t be installed before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
