Can you use OMNY multiple times?

You must use the same contactless credit or debit card, smart device, or OMNY card for each trip. Customers will automatically receive free, unlimited rides for the rest of the week once they have paid $34 (or $17 for registered Reduced-Fare customers) in fares — the same as taking 12 trips.
