For people comparing to NYC roll out that is a fair but nuanced issue. One major difference is the T also including commuter rail in this job whereas NYC only had Subway and bus. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but in the NYC system it only has NYC MTA and does not include LIRR, PATH, Metro North, or NJ Transit right?

MTA controls the LIRR and Metro North , it's all one agency and the new fare system will cover the commuter rails along with every NY transit system south of Albany. PATH will also use the new OMNY system and will roll out next yr. NJT decided to go with the same flawed company as SEPTA/PATCO, but there have been growing calls to dump it at least in North / Central Jersey for the cubic system. And the NY system has faced numerous delays I think they're 2yrs behind.

Interesting im honestly surprised at level of integration. Yes Metro North and LIRR are MTA as well but I know those agencies can be very territorial and not always play nice
