We were supposed to get one two years ago but it failed numerous roll out tests. -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 07:30 2
- You'd think this sort of system would be relatively commoditised by now. -- nm - Roger More Apr 7, 07:33 1
  - Right? -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 07:39
DC has a good tap card system, but awful metro execution. Win some, lose some. -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 07:22
Even Philly is about to roll out theirs. - znufrii Apr 7, 07:18 3
- Chicago's already got it. The land where they make lasagna and then call it pizza is ahead of us on these cards! -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 07:22 2
  - They were nice when we were there last week but I know the rollout was bad. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 7, 07:33 1
    - They rolled it out right after I moved. My brother was still there and the rollout was just horrendous. - ty97 Apr 7, 07:35
I don't know what that is exactly. Is it a bank card thing because that could be a big problem for the poor. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:10 5
- It's a subway card that you tap against a reader instead of swipe. -- nm* - Roger More Apr 7, 07:13
- No, it's just a contactless/RFID subway card. -- (link) - ty97 Apr 7, 07:13 [youtube] 3

    - Thanks, guys. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:17 1
      - One other great thing about them is you generally don't have to even take them out of your wallet. - ty97 Apr 7, 07:32
