What privacy implication? You already buy the NFC with a credit or debit card so if they want to track the card use they can.

  Many of the systems that account/payment card based ticketing is now replacing used to allow cash top-ups for their stored value cards.

    But you can still purchase these one-time use cards with cash? That’s the case with my local transit system. Are there places that are eliminating cash altogether?

      In NYC, there will soon be no more single ride tickets. There’s the OMNY card, and I believe the original plan was to outsource sales and top-ups to third-party stores, but lately I’ve also seen some vending machines for that in some stations, so maybe they’re going back a bit on that idea.
