大都会运输管理局完成了向OMNY的过渡,这是一个接受信用卡、智能手机和智能观察的无接触支付系统,现在可处理90%以上的地铁和公共汽车旅行。
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority completed its transition to OMNY, a contactless payment system accepting credit cards, smartphones, and smartwatches, which now handles over 90% of subway and bus trips.
这一转变始于2019年,目的是提高效率,每年至少将费用减少2,000万美元,并与全球过境趋势保持一致。

虽然MetroCard是一个文化图标,配有特殊版本,在取代黄铜象征物方面发挥着历史性作用,但其磁带却证明不可靠。

现有的MetroCard直到2026年仍然有效,可重新加载的OMNY卡可供没有无接触装置的人使用。
Existing MetroCards remain valid through 2026, and reloadable OMNY cards are available for those without contactless devices.
