After living in Hong Kong for 12 days, I can safely say they have a superior system for this premise alone.
The octopus card. Accepted virtually everywhere any other card is accepted. It's like any other e-wallet with load, but its ubiquity in service acceptance is amazing.
Everyone has an octopus card. Everyone important to the infrastructure of the country accepts octopus card.
