Student OMNY Cards

Schools distribute OMNY cards that let eligible students get to and from school and school-related activities for free—and ride for free on weekends and all year, too!

About Student OMNY Cards

Student OMNY Cards are:

• Distributed exclusively by your school. You can’t get a Student OMNY Card from the MTA.
• Good for four free rides each day. You can tap a Student OMNY Card whenever you want to take up to four free trips every day of the week, any time of the day.
  
  • This includes a free transfer between the subway and local, limited, and Select Bus Service buses, or a free transfer between buses.

  If you’ve used Student MetroCards in the past, you should know that Student OMNY Cards give you more free rides with fewer limits.

  • Four free rides every day
  • All day (not just certain hours)
  • Every day of the year (not just school days)
  • Even weekends and over the summer
  • One card for the entire school year and the summer

  Your Student OMNY Card is for you—and only you! Don’t share it and risk having your pass confiscated.

  Remember to always tap for your rides. Your tap tells the MTA how many people ride from every station and helps improve service.
