That level of interoperability is sortof Japan's approach, though the overlap is... confusing to say the least. In general, the following is true:1. Any card purchased in a particular city for a particular railroad is good for one-way fares for all railroads and many buses in that city. 2. Unlimited/commutation passes can only be loaded/used for the railroad that issued the card. 3. Any JR card will work for all JR railroads country-wide. However, they will only work on non-JR lines in the cities served by the issuing JR railroad (see: 1). The overlap is possible because virtually the entire country uses the same SONY proprietary IC card system. AFAIK no one in the US uses this system, which is a shame because it is the fastest one I've ever experienced, no one needs to break stride at a quick walking pace to use it. Meanwhile WMATA, CTA and the T all have a half second lag after tapping before a reaction. |
