New Yorkers enrolled in the city's half-priced Fair Fares program can now ditch their MetroCards and tap-and-go with ease with OMNY.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the initiative should relieve New Yorkers of financial stress. Low-income New Yorkers between the ages of 18 and 64, regardless of immigration status, will now have easier access to half-priced public transit as the city transitions its Fair Fares program to OMNY.

The half-priced fare program launched in 2019, but has since only been available through old vinyl MetroCards.

Fair Fares, the NYC program offering half-priced subway and bus rides low-income public transit users, is now fully available on OMNY, the MTA’s contactless fare system, the Mayor’s office announced on Wednesday.
