Here is part of an email I just received:
OMNY will start to roll out for Reduced-Fare customers this summer, and we are excited to invite you to sign up to be among the first Reduced-Fare customers to switch from MetroCard to OMNY!
OMNY is a contactless, account-based fare payment system that will offer enhancements and new conveniences for all MTA riders. Most notably, Reduced-Fare customers will be able to tap onto the subway or bus either with a contactless credit or debit card, smart device of your own, or an MTA-issued OMNY card. You will also be able to track your trip history and manage your fare payments through an online OMNY account, if you choose. OMNY validators are installed at all NYCT subway stations and on all buses, and the Reduced-Fare program for OMNY is coming soon.
For Reduced-Fare customers who want to bring their own payment device to pay with OMNY, you’ll have multiple ways to switch to the OMNY system in just a couple months. If you think you’d prefer an MTA-issued OMNY card, let us know so we can tell you when those cards are available. You don’t have to make a final decision about your payment method now – we’ll be reaching out this summer with more information about the options and how and when to switch.
