I don't think it should be their top priority right now. I understand why NJT needs to move now, but agencies with electronic fare collection right now need to hold off on buying anything major except buses and railcars. This isn't the right time. As it stands, the MTA is in very big trouble financially. It does not need to manage new big projects. It needs to take federal funds for NYCT and replace every pre-1996 bus it has...NOW.I disagree, MTA has already made lots of case studies on the smartcard and they need to get their act together it is taking way too long. They need to move now. MetroCards is way obsolete at its prime back in the 90s. I hope the best for NJ Transit for their transition to smartcard system. |
