NYC commuters face OMNY problems just days before tap-and-ride system becomes only option for NYC subway fare

OMNY issues are plaguing increasingly frustrated straphangers — just days before MTA makes it the go-to option for subway fares.

Commuters reported getting charged multiple times for a single ride when using the new tap-and-ride system, or being unable to check their card balances, as well as broken re-loading machines at various subway stations.

“It’s not a good system right now,” said Fannie Brown, 58, lugging a large suitcase as she tried to catch the Q train at the 34th St-Herald Square station — but couldn’t re-up her OMNY card due to three busted machines there Friday.
