MetroCards Fade as OMNY Takes Over | New York City News
The MTA has officially retired MetroCards, but a few diehards still cling to them—mostly to spend down leftover balances before they expire. While 98% of riders now use OMNY, stragglers like 73-year-old Sonia Rosario and young Genna, who got a card through a youth program, still swipe their old cards. Even JFK Airport staff kept using them until last month, when OMNY bulk discounts finally rolled out. As the city moves forward, these last holdouts offer a nostalgic glimpse into a fading transit era. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn…
