I've spent a lot of the summer out finding interesting things close to where I live; mostly in New York. It's been a lot of fun, and you can always catch the little videos I put on YouTube.

I've learned a lot about videos, and even more about New York City. I will be taking a little time away now to go and find some interesting things to talk about in a new place for me. I won't be long. You'll probably see the first of the blogs next week.
I do so love to travel, so I will mention one thing for you from my regular visits to New York. It's called OMNY. It's their new system for the subway and buses, along with the Roosevelt Island Tramway. It looks like something completely different, but I assure you; it's no big deal.
You can tap a credit card or Apple Pay and all kinds of things, as long as you use the same method all the time. This way, it will only charge you up to $34 a week. It's nice, but it's not as big a deal as it seems.
I just got an OMNY card and loaded it like I always used to with the MetroCard. The only real difference is that it taps instead of swipes. The system will quit charging your OMNY card after $34 a week as well.
Let me just say that hat's off to New York. You're way behind in the subway game, but good for you for catching up. Europe has had a tap system for some time, and I believe a lot of Asian systems do as well.
This is the only difference you'll really see. The one nice thing about the new system is that you can use a single card to pay for up to 4 people at a single station together. I tried it. We couldn't go through the exact same turnstile, but we could in fact use the same card at the same time. I like that.
As I've spent a lot of time in New York this summer, I've seen that they're doing a lot with the metro system to provide a better experience for the customer. Thank you, New York. It was really time.

So, stop into New York and check out the new stuff. It's pretty cool after all, and it's all for the customers. Take advantage of that. It doesn't happen often in my world.
Check back next week and I'll see what I can have here for you, and Enjoy!
