Why not simply accept contact-less payment from mobile phones via something like NFC? And use the stupid metro-only cards as a backup? Speaking from a US perspective...
- mrep 7y agoThat would make the most sense but you'd probably have to set up your own payment network as the major ones charge 30 cents per transaction which makes it uneconomical for small fares.
- 24gttghh 7y agoIf a lot of metro's already use their own contactless systems, I don't see why they couldn't release an app that does the same thing. Go figure, the MTA in NYC is doing just that: https://new.mta.info/system_modernization/omny https://new.mta.info/system_modernization/omny
