NYC is in that nice place where they have an "advanced" system with the MetroCard that is JUST starting to get outdated. You are right in that it can hold off on having this as its top priority. However, this upgrade still needs to be held in high regard.With the Smartcard, I'm more interested in the possibility of a MidAtlantic card that integrates NJT, NYMTA, PATH, PATCO, SEPTA, and DART First State into using one card that can be read on the various systems. You may even add CT Transit at a later time as well, and others on the NE (DC Area, Boston, etc). With such a potentially great endeavor, the LAST thing you would want to do is rush through things. However, there needs to be constant discussion, and I think it would be great to have federal aid, as this could be something much bigger than what individual cities/transit agencies can manage alone. Maybe. |
