There is a special MetroCard for those with physical disabilites. This card is when used in the box next to the slam gate (on either side) will cause the door to open. I only saw this in action once. There will obviously be an OMNY card ro eventually replace that MetroCard. | |

I tried it when exiting one time with my bike, I think on the way back from my photo session in The Bronx. I just lifted the bike over the turnstile like I always do. I guess even a senior citizen doesn't get any special treatment if he's still riding a road bike. | |

That is the change being mentioned in the original post. It is a new situation as of about a month ago. | |

The progressives in charge of our state want to bankrupt everything to rebuild in the way of their ideology . People avoiding the fare are simply vomiting crimes of necessity due to systematic racism . So by making it easier , you are fighting systematic racism . Think I’m kidding , read the quotes about how stealing tvs after Katrina was a crime of necessity . That’s the reason the DA is not going after crooks clearing out the shelves at your local pharmacy | |

Not clear to me how. I have a senior Metrocard. It deducts $1.35 for each ride I take. The MTA hasn't sent me an OMNI card to replace it. | |

Before that, only certain kinds of cards worked. | |

It used to be only specific cards for those with disabilities that required such. | |
