The problem with the NY metro card is that it is disposable. NY should follow Shanghai’s example and adopt a sturdy credit-card-like metro card. The commuter would pay a one time fee for a rechargeable metro card and once ‘e is done with it ‘e hands in back in for a reimbursement of that one-time charge. In so doing the commuter will be forced to recycle, because it will be part of the transaction.

That’s how the Oyster card works in London – you have a card and keep recharging it.

That site though – some clever ideas but the webmaster needs to learn about optimising pictures for the web – 600kB for a small pic is absurd.
