MTA warns OMNY glitch may block free rides on NYC subway and buses

The MTA has issued a warning about an OMNY system error that could prevent riders from receiving free rides after reaching the weekly fare cap on New York City subways and buses. The specific payment method affected is unclear, but the MTA advises keeping a backup payment method to ensure the limit is applied. This is a localized transit system issue with no broader market or geopolitical implications.
