Vandals have targeted OMNY card readers across New York City’s subway system, smashing or defacing the devices in what appears to be a politically motivated act. The damage has disrupted fare collection, leaving some stations without functional payment systems. Authorities are investigating whether the incidents are connected to broader protests or acts of civil disobedience. Passengers are advised to check for alternative payment methods as transit officials assess the extent of the disruption.
