@MTA if OMNY is supposed to replace metrocards, why can’t one use OMNY to exit the AirTrain at JFK?? I know a metrocard is $1 but a) it’s the principle of the thing and b) the AirTrain + subway already costs an absurd $11.

But to deny that it's still a common practice is nothing short of lying & gaslighting.
It takes advantage of the fact that it's hard to prove what happens inside those insular walls.
