New York City Subway Pass on iPhone
Keep your New York City subway pass in BuzzMe on iPhone, where it lives in a secure vault and appears ready when you reach the station. It works with the MTA fare system for OMNY and MetroCard, so your pass is close at hand at the turnstile, even underground.
Add BuzzMe to iPhone
Install BuzzMe straight to your home screen — no app store needed — then create your vault and keep your pass ready at the gate.
Built for the New York City subway fare system
BuzzMe knows the local MTA fare system and helps you keep the right subway pass ready for the ride. In New York City, subway and local buses use a flat fare with no tap-out, and the current options include OMNY pay-per-ride at $2.90, a 7-Day Unlimited pass at $34, and a 30-Day Unlimited pass at $132. OMNY also auto-caps: after 12 paid rides in a 7-day window, the rest of that week is free. One free subway-to-local-bus transfer is included within 2 hours.
Ready at the gate, even without signal
As you approach a station or gate, BuzzMe automatically pins the pass you need to the top of your vault so it is ready before you reach the reader. Your pass and its scannable code display offline, so a dead zone on the platform does not leave you stuck at the turnstile. Each pass shows the exact QR or barcode the fare gate expects in full brightness, with a live identity watermark to help deter screenshots and reuse.
Install on iPhone and keep your pass private
BuzzMe installs straight to your iPhone home screen as an app, with no app store step and no separate wallet required. Your passes live in an encrypted vault accessible only to you, like a bank depository for travel documents and tickets. You can also buy transit tickets and passes securely inside BuzzMe through ChowBanQ with a tokenized card, so your card number never touches BuzzMe.
