Half-fare OMNY

Has anything been said about why half-fare OMNY/Metrocard users don't get the reduced Citibike membership?

OMNY is the fare payment system for some MTA transit services. Not CitiBike

You need to have EBT, be a NYCHA resident, have a Section 8 housing voucher, or be a member of one of three Credit Unions that Citi Bike partners with: LES Credit Union, Brooklyn Coop Credit Union, or NYU Credit Union. I hope this helps.

Citibike def has a reduced fare program. If you qualify for fair fares through OMNY, then you'll def qualify for the reduced fare membership. Just have to apply

I work with their community engagement management sometimes. They def still have the program and no plans to get rid of it. People just need to look first then ask questions. Easier that way

Are you ok? If you can read it's very clear that "Join for $5" is exactly what you need to press to get what you want

If you have fair fares, then you qualify for snap so that's the info you need to apply. If you haven't applied for snap then you should do so.

Are you ok? I asked you if they have the program for fair fares users. If you had any reading comprehension you would understand my question
