Transfering to #omnycards has to be one of the worst decisions @MTA ever made. You can't tell balance at turnstyle, one machine replaces 4 and no one ever knows how to use them. ou can't use one card for two people- a down grade in every category - just horrible.

Thank you @nycitycouncil for supporting CCRB’s $15M request in added funding. As civilian complaints rise, we need an adequate budget to serve NYC. Chronically underfunded CCRB is a key component of public safety & budget should reflect that @CCRB_NYC @NYCSpeakerAdams
