The airtrain exit fare is a policy failure. "We inherited-I inherited, this project, which is great, but from my standpoint, has certain project management challenges." "I decided that we needed to look at the schedule for how we were managing the project, because it was not being, in my view, managed the same way you would manage a more conventional mega project," Lieber said. But he offered no firm date for tap-to-pay coming to the AirTrain. Lieber told us that this is why, two months ago, he asked his deputies to look at the OMNY implementation timeline, "tear it apart," and make the Cuomo-era initiative better. While tap-to-pay can be used at every subway station and on every bus, the full OMNY rollout is some 2.5 years behind schedule and $100 million over budget reduced fare programs, commuter rail, OMNY vending machines, and access to conveyances like the AirTrain have been stalled-some until 2025. "I have not spoken to the Port Authority about the condition of the entry point that they operate," Lieber replied. Last month, Hell Gate asked the chair and CEO of the MTA, Janno Lieber, what he was doing about the frequent bottlenecks at the subway/AirTrain connections, whether he'd spoken to the Port Authority about the issue recently, and if he has a firm date for when passengers can use OMNY capability for the AirTrain. It's a black and white cookie of municipal dysfunction. While the MTA controls the (frequently busted) MetroCard machines at the two AirTrain portals at Jamaica and Howard Beach, as well as the rollout of their OMNY technology, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey operates the AirTrain itself, and collects the eight dollar (that's $8.00, also known as EIGHT FUCKING DOLLARS) fare only for travelers attempting to enter and exit mass transit-drivers heading to their cars in the parking lot ride free. There are easily 100+ people waiting here just to recharge metro cards! At least fix the machines!! /3VrwzxKTJ2- Kaeleigh December 17, 2022 OMG INSTALL OMNY AT JFK ARE YOU KIDDING ME
