Why didn't I get the OMNY fare cap?
The MTA's OMNY program caps your fares at $34 a week when you tap with the same card and device. You can read more information about this program here: OMNY fare-capping.
Note that in order to get this benefit, you need to use the same card AND the same device:
- ✅ tapping just with your Alice physical card
- ✅ adding your Alice instant card to your phone, and tapping with that
- ❌ using your Alice physical card sometimes and your Alice instant card other times
- ❌ adding your Alice card to your phone and smart watch, and using both
If you are doing everything right but it still seems like you aren't getting the OMNY fare cap, you can reach out to OMNY customer support.
You can also register for an OMNY account which will enable you to get a clear view of how they are calculating your fare cap.
