Reply to comment by drtywater in MBTA won’t roll out $935M automated fare payment system in 2024 by weallgettheemails2

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

I misread the articles your right they said OMNY like system.
