The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said it is seeing nearly 40% of trips taken on its New York City Subway paid for through the agency’s OMNY service, which is used mainly for open-loop payments. About two-thirds of OMNY transactions come from riders tapping digital wallets, according to the agency.
OMNY accounted for just under 37% of trips on the subway in August. That’s up from just over 28.1% of rides paid for through OMNY six months earlier, according to MTA.
