OS/2 is still in use in NYC's subway MetroCard system... shocking.
The city is probably being squeezed out of tons of money to maintain technology that is ancient.

I don't find it all that surprising. A few large insurance companies still have a lot of their (core) software written in COBOL and outsource its upkeep to IT companies. It's a big expense, nobody likes it; but replacing it would cost more.
