The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has announced that the OMNY contactless fare payment system - which reached the milestone of 10 million taps in the past week - will go live on all Manhattan local buses by the end of March 2020.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has announced best January on-time performance and ridership metrics in seven years for NYC Subway, eight years for LIRR, and best month for the Metro-North.
The MTA is seeking companies that have the potential to offer shared-mobility services connecting New Yorkers who are travelling during the overnight hours with the subway system.
Adoption rates of the payment system are said to exceed the MTA’s internal estimates and work to bring OMNY to the entire subway and bus system by the end of 2020 reportedly remains on pace.

Figures reveal that MTA ridership has increased across subways, buses, LIRR and Metro-North, with on-time performance improving across the board.
