I know on the iPhone and Apple watch, you can designate one of your cards as "Transit." That way, you don't even have to open your card on your phone or watch, but you just tap and go. My watch worked perfectly even through several layers of clothing, and I didn't have to even take out my phone. According to MTA, "We've also introduced a new weekly fare cap, which lets you cash in on your taps with OMNY. Take 12 paid trips in a week on the same device or card starting Monday, and ride free through Sunday, every week, automatically." This can save money for visitors, since if you take less than 12 rides, you haven't paid the full $33 for the 7-day unlimited.

As a newly turned local, this was super helpful because I am very reliant on Google Maps 😅😅 definitely wish that the monthly pass could be added to Apple Pay but we'll just have to keep waiting for that! Also have learned that hard way that if you swipe at one station, realize you were going towards the wrong direction, leave and swipe again, you'll get declined unless you wait a certain amount of time. But for what it's worth, the subway is worth it 99% of the time!

Terrific presentation! This reminds me of visiting London some years ago. At first I was terrified, confused and clueless about riding the Tube. Within a day or so I loved it! In fact, I ended up riding all over Greater London just for fun. I’m sure I would enjoy the NYC Subway, too.
