Are there any advantages to still use a metrocard or is OMNI the best new thing? Are there any disadvantages of OMNI compared to Metrocard or in general?

The plus side, of course, is that I always have my phone with me, I don’t have to look for my MetroCard and I don’t have to stop by the kiosk to have it refilled every now and again.

April 6, 2022 6:14 pm at 6:14 pm #2076322rightwriterParticipantYes and since they don’t do discounts anymore for certain MetroCard amounts it seems there is very little advantage to use them anymore.
