MetroCard Discontinuation
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will be discontinuing MetroCards after Dec. 31, 2025.
This change may affect how you pay for your fare.
If you are purchasing a MetroCard for your commute, you can use the
Edenred Commuter Card to pay for your rides instead.
It is fully compatible with the
OMNY Tap-and-Go
payment system on buses and at subway turnstiles. You can also add it to your mobile phone's digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.).
For more details on how the MetroCard discontinuation may affect your Commuter Benefits, visit the
MTA Pre-Tax Transit Benefit Information page.
