> Guess which kind NYC MTA Metrocards are :)
None anymore! They're being phased out as we speak. They were supposed to be end of life last year, though they pushed back end of life EoY 2024, because the MTA is never on time, all the time.
And I’ll be swiping until the day they remove the readers if they don’t introduce monthly capping via OMNY!
The Metrocard is actually a quite elegant and resilient/decentralized system, given the technology that was available when it was introduced. OMNY depends on a network connection being (almost) always available.
OMNY has had automatic fare cap for 2 years?
Not monthly, though. If you take the subway every day, a monthly Metrocard is cheaper.
