I know someone who was involved in the MTA contract for the omny chip reading tech. Originally, PATH and the MYA were both on board and this would have been a reality. PATH obviously pulled out, apparently because they wanted it cheaper. Yet here we are…

I feel like this is going to go terribly when Path does roll it out. What happens to the money on my smartlink card? Will it get transferred over to whatever the new system is? Isn’t this supposed to happen next year?

Gonna be hilarious when they hike the fare then reduce service

Edit: Actually, this article says the rollout is supposed to happen mid-2023. I don't see that happening, I imagine there's gonna be a big media campaign on social media/in the stations before it happens.
