The janitor at my job is a 60 year old without a smartphone and is dreading the day he'd be for forced to go without the MetroCard. Some of the tech bros in these threads don't understand people with learning disabilities or poor people who do not have consistent mobile phone service, internet access, or safety to go and refill their Omni cards at the limited locations. Everything is being developed for upper income people's convenience with little thought to the proletariat who keeps the place running in the background.

Then why do all the people that stop short in the turnstile are all people using their phones to pay?

This is why I'm only doing the refillable MetroCard for now until I'm required to use my phone for payment. It's still beta software imho.

Terribly sad. Head Injuries are some of the most terrible injuries to have because of the toll they have on cognition and mental health.

Wow.
This could've saved my father's life had it been available back then.
But I'm happy others will benefit.🥹
