Curious, who are you worried about anonymity from? If you buy a transit card with a credit card already (how most people do), there goes your anonymity from the transit system. You can reduce tracking by credit card companies (with is the group I think would be doing a lot of analysis of spending, including when and where you travel (they get when, since it posts immediately, but they might not get where, if the transit billing all originates the same). That reduction in tracking is probably valuable. I would think facial recognition cameras in transit systems will become commonplace, if they aren’t already. New York is already using other “AI” for fare evasion (saying they don’t currently use facial recognition). Then anonymity is completely out the door.
