How have you lost so many transit cards? I current have 4 iterations of transit cards for the CTA. I also still have many transit cards from my visits in different countries.
- LeafItAlone 3y ago> so many transit cards Well, 1. I said I lost more transit cards than credit cards. I’ve “lost” exactly one credit card so far. And I didn’t even lose it, I left it at a restaurant and when I realized it, it was a few hours later so I just got it replaced. 2. A transit card is something you use while in motion and frequently while in a hurry. When using it multiple times per day while commuting, there is significantly more opportunities than when I use my credit card. Compared to a credit card where the transaction is slower and usually not rushed. 3. Transit cards for many cities (e.g. NYC when I lived there) are designed to be mostly disposable, so they are flimsy. Compared to a thick, rigid credit card. I also still have dozens of transit cards from different places I’ve visited. But for my home city, I lost it a few times.
- monksy 3y agoOh, no I'm not referring to the temporary limited used cards. I'm talking about full on plastic card backed by an account. Oyster card, ventra card, charlie card, SUBE, etc.
