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.

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. The problem with the NY metro card is that it is disposable.
