• the Activation of OMNY Readers at the Queensboro Plaza Station in Queens Marks the Completion of the Line and the Halfway Po The activation of OMNY readers at the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens marks the completion of the line and the halfway point in the MTA's effort to activate OMNY at all 472 subway stations in the system. OMNY installation remains set to be completed by the end of the year at all subway stations and on all MTA-operated buses. A list of all subway stations and bus routes where OMNY is currently in use is at this link: https://omny.info/system-rollout In March, the MTA announced OMNY had surpassed 10 million taps. In 2021, the MTA will introduce an OMNY card at retail locations throughout the New York region. Also in 2021, the MTA will begin to install new vending machines at locations throughout the system. OMNY readers accept contactless cards from companies such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Following the completion of OMNY installation at all subway turnstiles and on buses, the MTA will introduce all remaining fare options, including unlimited ride passes, reduced fares, student fares, and more. Only after OMNY is fully available everywhere MetroCard is today, expected in 2023, will the MTA say goodbye to the MetroCard. The MetroCard was first tested in the system in 1993, debuting to the larger public in January 1994. All turnstiles were MetroCard-enabled by May 1997 and all buses began accepting it by the end of 1995. Tokens were sold until April 2003 and acceptance was discontinued that May in subway stations and that December on buses. Purchasing your fare with cash will always be an option. Additional info about OMNY is available at OMNY.info. OMNY readers are active at the following stations: Manhattan Grand Central - 42 Street Grand Central - 42 Street Grand Central - 42 Street 33 Street 28 Street 23 Street 14 Street - Union Square 14 Street - Union Square 14 Street - Union Square Astor Place Bleecker Street Broadway - Lafayette Street Spring Street Canal Street Canal Street Canal Street (UL) Canal Street (LL) Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall Chambers Street Fulton Street Fulton Street Fulton Street Fulton Street (Broadway - Nassau) Wall Street Bowling Green 34 St-Penn St 34 St-Penn St South Ferry Whitehall S-Fry Lexington Av/53 51 St 59 St/Lex Lexington Av/59 68 St-Hunter Col 77 St 86 St 96 St 103 St 110 St 116 St 125 St 138/Grand Concourse 28 St 23 St 18 St 6 Av 14 St 14 St Christopher St Houston St Canal St Franklin St Chambers St WTC-Cortlandt Rector St Times Sq-42 St Times Sq-42 St Times Sq-42 St Times Sq-42 St 42 St-Port Authority 59 St-Columbus Circle 59 St-Columbus Circle 50 St 66 St-Lincoln 72 St 79 St 86 St 96 St 103 St Cathedral Pkwy-110 St 116 St-Columbia 125 St 137 St City Col 145 St 157 St 168 St 168 St 181 St 191 St Dyckman St 207 St 215 St Marble Hill-225 145 St 135 St 125 St 116 St Cathedral Pkwy-110 St 103 St 96 St 86 St 81 St-Museum 72 St 163 St-Amsterdm 7 Av 47-50 St Rock 42 St-Bryant Park 5 Ave 34 St-Herald Sq 34 St-Herald Sq 23 St W 4 St-Wash Sq Inwood-207 St Dyckman St 190 St 181 St 175 St 155 St 50 St 23 St 14 St 8 Av-14 St Spring St Canal St Chambers St World Trade Center Park Place Cortlandt St 34 St-Hudson Yard Harlem 148 St 145 St 135 St 125 St 116 St Central Pk N 110 St Wall St Clark St Hoyt St Bronx 138/Grand Concourse 149/Grand Concourse 3 Av-149/Grand Concourse 161/Yankee Stadium 161/Yankee Stadium 167 St 170 St Mt Eden Av 176 St Burnside Av 183 St Fordham Rd Kingsbridge Rd Bedford Pk Blvd Mosholu Pkwy Woodlawn 231 St 238 St Van Cortlandt Park/242 St 3 Av 138 St Brook Av Cypress Av E 143/St Mary's E 149 St Hunts Point Av Whitlock Av Elder Av Morrison Av - Soundview Av St Lawrence Av Parkchester Castle Hill Av Zerega Av Westchester Sq Middletown Rd Buhre Av Pelham Bay Park 3 Av-149 St Jackson Av Prospect Av Intervale Av Simpson St Freeman St 174 St West Farms Sq E 180 St Bronx Park East Pelham Pkwy Allerton Av Burke Av Gun Hill Rd 219 St 225 St 233 St Nereid Av Wakefield/241 St Morris Park Pelham Pkwy Gun Hill Rd Baychester Ave Eastchster/Dyre Ave Brooklyn Borough Hall Borough Hall Court Street Nevins Street Atlantic Ave - Barclays Center Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center (Pacific Street) 86 St High St Jay St-Metrotech Jay St-Metrotech Hoyt-Schermerhorn Lafayette Av Clinton-Wash Av Franklin Av Nostrand Av Kingston-Throop Utica Av Ralph Av Rockaway Ave Broadway Junction (East New York) Broadway Junction (Eastern Parkway) Broadway Junction Liberty Ave Van Siclen Ave Shepherd Ave Euclid Ave Park Place Botanic Garden Franklin Av Franklin Av Prospect Park York St Queens Sutphin-Archer Mets-Willets Pt Flushing-Main 111 St 103 St-Corona 90 St-Elmhurst 61 St Woodside Junction Blvd 82 St-Jackson H Jackson Heights-Roosevelt 74 St-Broadway 69 St 52 St 46 St Bliss St 40 St Lowery St 33 St-Rawson St Vernon Blvd-Jackson Ave Court House Sq Court Sq Court Sq-23 St Hunters Pt Av Queensboro Plaza Howard Bch JFK Staten Island St. George SIR Tompkinsville SIR .

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • New York City's MTA Exposed!
    New York City's MTA Exposed! Joseph Battaglia [email protected] http://www.sephail.net Originally appearing in 2600 Magazine, Spring 2005 Introduction In this article, I will explain many of the inner workings of the New York City Transit Authority fare collection system and expose the content of MetroCards. I will start off with a description of the various devices of the fare collection system, proceeding into the details of how to decode the MetroCard©s magnetic stripe. This article is the result of many hours of experimentation, plenty of cash spent on MetroCards (you©re welcome, MTA), and lots of help from several people. I©d like to thank everyone at 2600, Off The Hook, and all those who have mailed in cards and various other information. Becoming familiar with how magnetic stripe technology works will help you understand much of what is discussed in the sections describing how to decode MetroCards. More information on this, including additional recommended reading, can be found in ªMagnetic Stripe Readingº also in this issue. Terms These terms will be used throughout the article: FSK - Frequency Shift Keying A type of frequency modulation in which the signal©s frequency is shifted between two discrete values. MVM - MetroCard Vending Machine MVMs can be found in every subway station. They are the large vending machines which accept cash in addition to credit and debit. MEM - MetroCard Express Machine MEMs are vending machines that accept only credit and debit. They are often located beside a batch of MVMs. MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority A public benefit corporation of the State of New York responsible for implementing a unified mass transportation policy for NYC and counties within the "Transportation District".

It’s an in-between number so we weren’t going to go all out with celebrations. Then we realized that there was no guarantee 45 years ago that we’d still be here—let alone have developed our range of programs and skills. So we decided that a little horn tooting was in order. Our founders had a vision: an organization that would focus on preservation and have technical skills that could actually help people fix their buildings.
