The NYC Subway Trial | About The Trial

Citibank and MasterCard are proud to welcome you to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and MTA New York City Transit trial of contactless payments in select New York City subway stations.

Congratulations

Due to the overwhelming positive response, the trial will continue to run into 2008.

Why Contactless Payments in the Subway?

The goal of this trial is to evaluate the speed and convenience that contactless payments can provide to New York's busy commuters and to test the consumer experience. As anyone who has ever commuted through the subway system knows well, time is a critical factor.
