Today I bought an omny card at CVS--this is the contactless fare card that's supposed to replace metrocards sometime next year. the MTA really really wants people to just use their bank cards or phones but I'm trying to see just how much work it is to only use cash with them. They're supposed to be for sale at all CVSes but anecdotally I've heard a lot of stores haven't had them. Mine did, but the guy ringing me up didn't know how to add cash to it so I gotta try another store I guess.
