IMHO, Boston may be stretching it a little bit. You may as well throw Rhode Island in there as well.At least with CT Transit (and, you can't forget HART, Norwalk Wheels, Bridgeport, SEAT, and the other systems that are either affiliated or connect to the ConnDOT-managed bus service), you have direct and indirect connections to MTA. Maybe in 10-15 years, a super-regional transit smart card could work; for now, we'll have to make do with the WMATA SmarTrip (which is the closest example to a regional "smart card" in the Northeast. Once MTA, NJT, and SEPTA get their respective systems fully operational, then you could see the regional plans kick in. Seeing as this is a major undertaking regardless of agency, every little step helps. |
