In the first two weeks of the MTA’s so-called fare capping for OMNY, giving subway and bus passengers unlimited rides within a week after 12 taps, 76,000 people have unlocked the free trips, the agency’s chief said Wednesday.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled, that’s why we created the ‘lucky 13’ program to give our riders a break through OMNY,” MTA Chairperson and CEO Janno Lieber said at Grand Central Terminal on March 16.
That amounts to about 228,000 free rides that straphangers unlocked in the first 14 days after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority rolled out its fare promotion on Feb. 28.
