Why does Apple Cash work with OMNY pay for NYC transit? I tried everything (verified profile, restart phone,ect) but it didn't work. Very poor on the part of Apple for not working this out. And also OMNY. I do not want to use my debit or credit because I don't want to see the many charges. It confuses my statement. And who wants to get another card? not me. And for those that say Apple Cash is pin locked thus cant work; well so are all debit cards and they work
iPhone 8, iOS 15
