Where is #7 train when you really need it? Ten minutes away? Are you serious MTA? During Rush hour! The previous train did not wait for the N connection at Queensboro Plaza. My compliments to the Contactor. @PassengersUnite
Before anyone says… “It’s just a glitch.”
Stop.
Because people in other cities were already reporting problems years before OMNY came to New York.
Chicago had lawsuits. San Francisco had major complaints.
Riders alleged double charges, unexplained fees, failed transactions, and money disappearing from accounts.
So here’s the question nobody seems willing to answer:
If these warning signs already existed…
Why did the MTA choose this company? Did nobody do the research? Did nobody review the complaints?
Did nobody ask the hard questions?
Or did they simply assume New Yorkers would deal with the consequences later?
Because every time the system gets it wrong…
It’s not the MTA checking their bank account.
It’s YOU.
It’s not the MTA wondering where their money went.
It’s YOU.
And that’s why this isn’t really a technology story.
It’s an accountability story.
Who approved the contract? What due diligence was done?
And why were New Yorkers never told about the problems being reported elsewhere?
Those are questions every commuter deserves answered.
What has your OMNY experience been?

The MTA is running anywhere from 20-40% less service than is scheduled and if Kathy Hochul knew what was good for her she’d declare an emergency, fire Janno Lieber, and scape goat him.
This shit is unacceptable and it will be headlines in a few weeks during the World Cup.
@newsday@greatneckpatch I just committed to (bicycle) ride the Pan-Mass Challenge this August in Massachusetts. Click here to support my ride! https://t.co/3Rv8p2Tjbj #PMC2026 via @panmass
@passengersunite. I wonder if @mta just trying to make extra money off the removed 2nd transfer instead of solving the supposed technological issue at this point
Would be awesome if the nearly $1 billion the MTA is spending upgrading its fare payment systems actually improved integration and usability, instead of *doubling* costs for many of the region's most vulnerable transit users!!
Water pouring straight through the ceiling on the MTA’s LIRR like we’re living in a third-world country—right here in New York.
Billions in taxes, endless bailouts, and this is the clown show we get? Commuters are fed up with the incompetence.
@timmintonNY@timmintonNY This is misleading.The timetable says 95 min, not 90, and that's just to the beginning of hamptons (westhampton). Most of the hamptons take closer to 2 hrs or more on the cannonball. Please respond
@bensaiditbest@TheLIRRToday@bensaiditbest With the possible exception of the one day you come 1 min late after the train has been 2+ minutes late literally 50 or 100 days in a row
@TheLIRRToday Every AM train *since COVID ended* of mine has been a minimum of two minutes late, and often more, of course. The train is never there at the time printed on the schedule.
@TheLIRRToday And of course if I activate my ticket 1 minute after the supposed arrival time, since the train was already 5 minutes late, they will still charge me the fee for late activation
@TheLIRRToday 533 from GC to Huntington agrees and reminds me of the old 8am from Bayside to Penn (think it started at GN), where it would sit across from the shopping plaza in sunnyside for 5 min daily.
As the saying goes, on the LIRR, the local trains stop at all of the stations. The express trains stop *between* all of the stations.
No ticket collection east of Jamaica on this train either. @LIRR is back to normal for sure!!
Classic LIRR trip. Starts out on time at beginning of the journey, gradually loses time until it arrives 5 minutes late. Delays the "express" train behind it.
@timmintonNY@ClaytonGuse@timmintonNY A 5 minute stop is definitely a very very significant disruption in service to me. Does 5 min not count as disruption for @MTA policy!
