Public transit payment system in the New York City area
POPULARITY
Today's Update Journal starts where all modern NYC problems begin: the turnstile. OMNY promised a sleek, futuristic transit experience, but forgot one crucial feature—the emotional honesty of the MetroCard telling you immediately that you're broke. Now you tap, walk, and find out later via email that you owe the MTA fifteen cents and your dignity. Then we revisit Home Alone—the original film where a child commits multiple OSHA violations, violates every building code known to man, and somehow walks away while two grown adults absorb injuries that would end a Marvel movie. We're talking head trauma, third-degree burns, and a staircase nail that would have most of us lying still, reevaluating every life choice. And finally, we slam on the brakes, turn down the chaos, and land somewhere warm. In The Last Word, we talk about what it really means to build Christmas traditions with someone you love—the quiet moments, the routines that sneak up on you, and how the smallest things end up meaning the most.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, a tourist was repeatedly stabbed by a crazed homeless woman inside Macy's Herald Square amid the packed holiday shopping rush, according to cops and law enforcement sources.A grand jury declined for a second time in a week to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James in another major blow to the Justice Department's efforts to prosecute the president's political opponents.And in Pennsylvania, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was freed from immigration detention on a judge's order while he fights to stay in the U.S., handing a major victory to the immigrant whose wrongful deportation to a notorious prison in El Salvador made him a flashpoint of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

This episode O’Neill tests out his new sunglasses . Then he reveals the ancient prophecies of Baba Venya and tries to unravel her prescient mysteries. Andy finds a preacher from the 80’s who tries to prove that He-Man is the Antichrist. Then they talk about Diarhea related deleted scenes from Braveheart that will shock you. Then they talk about how to survive a knife attack with a lot of unwarranted confidence. Then Ryan debates the legality of marrying an Ai. Then Andy talks about his final wishes for when he’s an old man. Then Ryan berates Andy for eating a burrito in bed.
In today's edition of The Update Journal, we proudly present the “Fare Inspector Era — Part 2,” because nothing says New York quite like a stranger in a reflective vest asking if you tapped your OMNY. Then, in The Last Word, your wallet delivers its annual holiday plea: “Stop. Please.” And finally, because we're professionals who totally keep track of milestones, we're celebrating the 1900th episode… a full day late. Look, between transit drama, holiday financial ruin, and remembering to eat lunch, something was bound to slip. But hey — 1900 episodes! We did it. Eventually.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, two NYPD officers won't be charged in the shooting death of a 19-year-old man during a mental health crisis last year as his mother and brother begged the officers not to open fire, state Attorney General Letitia James' office said.Minutes after police approached Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald's, he told an officer he didn't want to talk, according to video and testimony at a court hearing for the man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.And in Washington, the FBI arrested a man accused of placing two pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national parties in Washington on the eve of the U.S. Capitol attack, an abrupt breakthrough in an investigation that for years flummoxed law enforcement and spawned conspiracy theories about Jan. 6, 2021.

This week in the wild world of The Update, the internet caught a full-blown case of pneumonia after Cloudflare let out the tiniest sneeze — reminding us once again that our entire digital universe is apparently held together with bubble gum and hope. Meanwhile, the MTA promised a bold new era where rear-door boarding might finally become a thing… just as soon as OMNY stops behaving like a fussy toddler who refuses to get in the stroller. And to round it all out, we dive headfirst into the Great Gravy Debate — because if anything is going to hold Thanksgiving (and half our sanity) together, it's a good ladle of the brown stuff. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, a Democratic ex New Jersey mayor and current police sergeant was arrested for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a child he met online, officials announced.A judge has dismissed a Trump administration legal challenge to New York policies that block immigration officials from arresting people at state courthouses, saying the federal government can't force states to cooperate with those enforcement efforts.And in New Orleans, around 250 federal border agents are set to descend there in the coming weeks for a two-month immigration crackdown dubbed “Swamp Sweep” that aims to arrest roughly 5,000 people across southeast Louisiana and into Mississippi, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press and three people familiar with the operation.

Met Floris op vakantie zit Erwin deze week aan de knoppen voor een chaotische aflevering van de Bright Podcast.

The MTA says OMNY will undergo system updates starting Friday night and through Sunday night. During that time, riders won't be able to buy or reload OMNY cards and tap payments won't process until updates are complete. Meanwhile, the agency will stop accepting coins on buses next year as part of its full transition to OMNY. Plus, student enrollment in Newark Public Schools is rising sharply, even as many districts nationwide are seeing declines. We speak with Chalkbeat's Jessie Gomez.
First came the token. Then the MetroCard. Now, a new chapter in New York City transit history is about to begin. The MTA plans to retire the MetroCard at the end of this year, replacing it with OMNY, a contactless payment system. Shirin Hakim checks in with New Yorkers to see how they feel about saying goodbye to a city icon.
Full episodes and much much more available at Patreon.com/SlopQuest Comedian Ryan O’Neill and Illustrator Andrew DeWitt bring you the dumbest takes on news, movies and ridiculous business ideas every week on Slop Quest! Ryan laments the fact that garbage men don’t ride on the back of the truck. Then he takes issue with Andy’s Otterbox phone case that’s falling apart. Then they come up with a trick to get Andy on disability. Ryan’s wife tries to touch his antique globe and Andy roasts O’Neill’s novelty bobcat nutsack whiskey bottle. Then he has to prove to O’Neill that “cat pee” is an actual wine note. Andy pitches Ryan on being a Wartime Journalist. Andrew’s finger smells good but O’Neill won’t sniff it. And Andy finds a music video that’s too cringe even for O’Neill. They both have an extremely visceral reaction to it.
OMNY users are complaining about multiple or delayed charges after they tap to access subways and buses. Stephen Nessen, transportation reporter for the WNYC and Gothamist newsroom, explains what the MTA says it's doing to remedy these issues, and discusses the coming end of the MetroCard (along with the beloved 30-day unlimited card).

Police say a 16-year-old girl is in critical condition after being shot in the head near the Stonewall Inn as Pride celebrations wrapped up Sunday night. A 17-year-old was also shot and is in stable condition. Meanwhile, the MTA will stop selling MetroCards by the end of the year as it completes its shift to the OMNY tap-to-pay system. A planned four percent fare hike could also raise the cost of a single ride to $3. Plus, the city's Rent Guidelines Board is set to vote Monday night on potential increases for rent-stabilized apartments. WNYC's David Brand joins us to explain what's at stake.

The MTA says they'll stop selling MetroCards by the end of the year, as part of the agency's push to convert all subway and bus fare collection to the tap-to-pay OMNY system.

Some City Council members are criticizing Mayor Eric Adams' proposal to allow federal immigration officers into Rikers Island, arguing it could endanger pre-trial detainees. Meanwhile, two council members are introducing legislation to prevent landlords from buying their way out of complying with the city's landmark climate law, Local Law 97, which requires buildings to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Also, Friday is the last day to apply for a seat on a community board in Brooklyn and the Bronx. Plus, this week's On the Way transit segment covers flagged OMNY student cards, a baby born on the subway, and what's behind the wrapped J/M/Z train structures.
How can data and artificial intelligence reshape healthcare to create better patient outcomes? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Dr. Mitesh Rao, founder and CEO of OMNY Health, about his mission to build a more connected and collaborative healthcare system. With a background in emergency medicine and hospital leadership, he launched OMNY Health out of frustration with the siloed nature of healthcare data, which limits innovation and patient care. OMNY Health now represents data from nearly 80 million patients across the U.S., serving as a bridge between healthcare providers, researchers, and life sciences companies. Dr. Rao explains how his company is tackling some of the biggest challenges in healthcare—unifying fragmented data, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations, and providing a secure foundation for AI-driven advancements in medicine. We explore how this data network is enabling breakthroughs in precision medicine, pharmacovigilance, and clinical research, ensuring that new treatments are developed based on real-world evidence. Dr. Rao also shares insights on the role of AI in healthcare, the importance of diverse and representative data in training AI models, and how secure, compliant data-sharing can support the next wave of medical innovation. With plans to expand OMNY Health's network to 150 million patients, what does the future hold for healthcare data and AI-driven medicine? Join the conversation to find out, and share your thoughts on the role of data in transforming patient care.

If it's your first time (or even 3rd or 4th) visiting NYC, you should be aware of some common mistakes to avoid! Thinking you have to stay in Times Square. You don't need to stay in Times Square, but you should stay in Manhattan and you should stay within 5-10 minutes of a subway station. You can take public transit from every single airport. You don't have to take an Uber or Lyft! Download our free transportation guide here. You don't have to engage with people who are trying to talk to you on the street (pedi cabs, CD people, breakdancers, characters in Times Square, comedy shows, Staten Island Ferry). Most of them are trying to take advantage of you. Avoid eating at (most) food carts unless you know it's reputable. Unless you can look up reviews about it online, don't eat there. You do NOT need to buy a subway card. There is no benefit to buying the week-long pass because the discount gets applied automatically when you use Omny, the tap to pay service. You can always tap a credit card that has a tap to pay or use Apple Pay on your phone. This Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment: Terra Blues Terra Blues Jazz Club ($20 cover on the weekends). You are paying to get in, and once you are in, you can stay as long as you want. First come, first served seating, but some reservations are available (until around 8pm) if you plan ahead. Terra Blues has talented artists, great cocktails, and a huge whiskey list. Bonus Mistake: Don't walk slow on sidewalks and especially don't take up the entire sidewalk! See our full sidewalk guide here.

Send us a Text Message.Anyone can sell a product to a customer. But there's a big difference between those businesses with one-time purchasers and those whose customers keep on coming back for more. The key to gaining (and then retaining) loyal customers lies in building not just a business, but a brand that people are willing to follow.
