Right now, the screens have been installed in the Bowling Green station on the Nos. 4 and 5 lines and the Wall St. station for the Nos. 2 and 3 lines. The screens will be going into 14 stations, including major hubs like Times Square, Penn Station and Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn.
Subway riders can see the machines in action. The readers will light up with each swipe — green when the smartphone tap is accepted, red when it's denied and yellow if the rider needs to tap again.
"That's a move in the right direction. I think it's probably going to be faster" commuter Dorian Abreu, 28, from Woodside, Queens, said at the Wall St. station. "Maybe for sentimental reasons, I'll miss the swipe."
