Re: Fare Card

There are fare card architectures that, if properly designed, can store and credit, various operators, and various fare types, interagency transfers, and discounts.

LA's costly fare card does work, and does some of this, and the LACMTA was able to bludgeon Metrolink and many local bus operators into submission, much to that card vendors benefit, and have effectively forced them to use the same card. LACMTA holds the funding card and can do that. CTA and Metra have always been independent 900 pound gorilla's and so they may want to go with different vendors who won't integrate their systems.
