Reduce Fare OMNY According to the MTA

You can now put your Reduced-Fare benefit on your contactless credit or debit card or smart device at any time, from anywhere, using our online Digital Assistant. It is as easy as 1-2-3: go to omny.info to create an OMNY account, open the Assistant and enter your Reduced-Fare program info, and enter your payment info. 

You will need your Reduced-Fare MetroCard number handy along with the bank card number that will carry your Reduced-Fare benefit. Once you link your contactless debit/credit card or digital wallet, you will receive a success message and can begin tapping your selected payment method right away. 

You can watch a video demonstration of how to switch here, or call the OMMY call center at 877-789-6669 (8:00 AM-5:00 PM EST any day of the week) for help.
