MTA on Instagram: "It’s the end of an era: MetroCard sales will end on December 31, 2025 as part of our transition to contactless fare payment for subway and buses. Tap-and-go fare payment is already accepted on all subways and buses, and can be used by students, Fair Fares recipients, and Reduced-Fare customers. You can tap to pay with your contactless credit or debit card, digital wallet, or with an OMNY card. Don’t wait—start tapping today! MetroCards will continue to be accepted into 2026."
