No they didnt. The OMNY program is massively delayed.
>The MTA announced that the MTA's new "tap and go" ticket system, One Metro New York (OMNY) will not come to the Metro-North Railroad until 2025, delayed from the original projected 2021 completion.

>An MTA spokesperson merely said there was “no update” on the agency’s plans for the back-door boarding pilot, which was unceremoniously axed in 2022. At the time, Lieber said he was trying to find “the right time” to start the pilot, which was announced in 2021 and then sat on the shelf for months.

You mean like Charlie did in 2006 before they cancelled it since some people were upset that not everyone was paying?

> Also automated fare collection is a good thing in the long run, it allows for faster boarding and all door operation for street level surface routes
You know what actually allows faster boarding and all door operation for street level surface routes? Collecting fares via taxes instead of at the doors.

> The only thing I care about is multi-door boarding on Green Line and buses.
There was multi-door boarding on the Green Line when Charlie was introduced.
Some people started fare evasion hysteria and it ended.
There is zero guarantee the new system wont face the same result. NYC installed readers at every bus door to allow all-door boarding and then simply never launched it because of fare evasion hysteria

Put your destination in google maps. Click an origin. Push the train button. See what it says. Repeat as needed.

Fun fact: They didnt build a connection between the new terminal toad and the old one, so the bus basically goes to A, then leaves the airport, loops around, and enters again to reach B

Transit routes arent a matter of opinion. No one knows your exact origin and destination.

Here are what cinema expert say.
>Never evolves beyond scene after scene of painful slights, degradations, and worse - empty provocations.
>Joker is a self-serious movie that, in spite of its lead, posits itself as revolutionary when it never hovers above bland and tasteless.
>Bleak and juvenile
>Joker is a bad movie, yes: It's predictable, clichéd, deeply derivative of other, better movies, and overwritten to the point of self-parody.
Once you graduate High School, you may better be able to reflect on what "cinema" is.

You can like something and still admit it's garbagte. Thats ok, we're not judging you.

There were payment terminals at surface stations that dispenses a paper proof of payment ticket. There WERE inspectors boarding the trains at random and checking people's cards/receipts, and if anyone didn't have one they got a fine. This is the same system that many European cities use.
After about a year of this, those machines sat unused for 8 years before they were installed on the Fairmount line where they are in use today.
