The end of the MetroCard is OM-near.

Straphangers have already taken more than a million rides using OMNY, the MTA’s new tap-and-go fare payment system, officials announced Tuesday — well exceeding forecasts.

“We underestimated. We’re three to four times higher than the number [of taps] that we anticipated,” MTA Chairman Pat Foye told reporters on Tuesday. “Our customers proved us wrong.”

The new tech, which allows riders to enter turnstiles using contact-less credit cards or phone apps, is currently only available at 16 subway stations and on Staten Island buses.

Despite the limited release, riders are tapping in and out of buses and subway stations at a rate of 22,000 individual taps per day, officials said.

An overwhelming majority of those taps — 80% — came from mobile wallet apps like Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, rather than contactless credit cards, which feature new tech that banks have only recently begun rolling out.

MetroCards will remain in circulation until 2023, but by next year, OMNY readers are slated to be at every station in the system.

The tech readers will expand to commuter rails in 2021 — the same year the MTA plans to launch an official OMNY card and begin to offer daily, weekly and monthly passes as well as discounted cards for seniors and students.

“We’ve got a lot more to do,” said MTA Chief Revenue Officer Al Putre, who is overseeing the rollout.
