When it first came out ez-pass required a $25 deposit for the cost of the tag and the chicago card cost $5. Although rfid had been around for ever in various forms(including all credit cards in europe since the late 1990's) the cost of the cards themselves has cost too much for transit agency to obsorb. Look at how many people buy a $10 metrocard and don't refil. Walmart has been working to get the cost to less then $2 a chip. Also it only makes sense for NYCT and any other agency if they can can the station agents |
